Aínsa..... What must do trails before the weather turns?

Parked up just under an hour away from Aínsa.
Weather is due to get a bit cold and thundery in the next few days.

What trails are "classics" or must do's? After flowy natural and technical single track. Shovelled rather than excavated lines. A little bit of tech.

Is it like La Thuile /Finale?

Excited.... Get to scratch the new cranks.

You can find the EWS 2018 day 1 and 2 routes on Trailforks. The trail map that's available is also very good

We need to go back and explore more

I remember a bit of a classic (think it might have been an EWS stage) down an open ridge line in to Boltaña (from the south). Did lots of amazing riding there with Basque MTB, maybe Doug will be along soon to tell you what it’s called and some of the other stuff. In fact the badlands stuff north of Ainsa town was fabulous too come to think of it.

@spekkie lives around there so he might pop along and give you some advice.

I've only been there once with the family so only got half a day's riding and the guys in the hire shop recommended this one:

Some killer climbs made worse by the fact that it was 36 degrees and humid that day but t was worth it for the amazing descents. I also got mobbed and stung by wasps sitting on that bench in the photo at the top of Partara.
