Looks terrible. I'm not at all envious.

The trails out here are just so sweet as right now huh? Sunny but air still fresh. Glad you had a great time.

Magic 6days riding

Some of the group elected to go skiing/boarding on the "rest" day but I and 2 others decided on an extended first days ride getting dropped off further up the mountain(the snowy pic)

On 2 days we cycled out from Nechite and on 2 other days we finished there. Usual finish was at a tappas bar en route back to base.

Robs wife Mary did us proud with her cooking, I actually put on wieght!!! Maybe that was the beer/wine tho 🙄
