Today's Ride

[unit3]

Another clear and sunny day today, quite a wind over the top of shooters hill, but stunning views.

Not that it looks it, but my god this was steep!

in my defence I don't ride it much, just cant get on with it, so it stays clean, and its mostly sand around my way so dries quick.

The hill on the other hand was after the scenery shot, i was too busy dying to have a drink.

EDIT: will check forks for you!

No, it doesn´t :twisted:

I <3 Santander! Love at first sight. Looks like a place taken right out of Riven.

Re:

It's very hard to shoot a photo that conveys the sense of steepness-but it can be done-sorta Today-Saturday-Warm in the sun, about 60 F.-but chilly in the shade-so to get warm, we did the only choice we have around here, anyway-we climbed about 1000'...

It's been a really great week of Holiday rides here in Marin. Orange Phoenix today.

Santander and its whole province (Cantabria) is a very good MTB terrain with a lot of riders and with rides for everybody from the coast to the mountains. There are also some crazy races like the "10.000m del Soplao", also known as the Cantabrian Hell (it is a long distance 162km race with close to 10.000m of going up and down)
