Video: David Cachon In Soria

by 2

We’ve previously encountered David Cachon in the Catalonian Pyrenees, and got up close to his ride at Eurobike this year, and today he’s been in touch with a video of some spectacular riding and scenery in Soria, in North-East Spain. Scroll down for some beautiful photography too.

David writes: “Our trip to Soria has turned out to be one of the great surprises of this year. It is a region with wonderful qualities for the practice of mountain biking. An unparalleled beauty with great landscape contrasts that make it even more attractive if possible. Its historical legacy is present in all its corners: hermitages, churches and castles appear on all routes.

The province has a very irregular geography that translates into a heterogeneous landscape that includes from the high mountain to the deepest valleys, passing through the characteristic summer pastures. Forests, streams, solitary places and natural spaces where you can find the most varied plant and animal species.

David started mountain biking in the 90’s, by which he means “Ineptly jumping a Saracen Kili Racer off anything available in a nearby industrial estate”. After growing up and living in some extremely flat places, David moved to Yorkshire specifically for the mountain biking. This felt like a horrible mistake at first, because the hills are so steep, but you get used to them pretty quickly. Previously, David trifled with road and BMX, but mountain bikes always won. He’s most at peace battering down a rough trail, quietly fixing everything that does to a bike, or trying to figure out if that one click of compression damping has made things marginally better or worse. The inept jumping continues to this day.
