There’s been a biiiiig gap between the day 7 and day 8 write-ups from our GR5 trip but i’ve finally caught up and written day8!! Woohoo. For those of you who have been following, then hopefully you haven’t forgotten that I have been writing these or maybe you’re super excited i’ve finally gotten around to writing a new addition to the series.
Every time I remember this day it is remembered as a day of almost pure descending, quite possible the best day ever on a mountain bike, it felt like we were riding downhill for mile after mile after mile. However looking back at the numbers we actually did almost as much uphill as we did downhill – 2877m of descent and 2584m of ascent!
Either way this was easily the best day i’ve ever had on a bike and the best descent i’ve ever done flippin ever.
