Bubion Again

Last night we picked Jim up from Malaga airport. Today the weather has been absolutely grim, with heavy snow coming down on and off all day. Apparently its forecast to snow for the next 4 days too, not quite the Spain that I was expecting. This wasn’t good news for Jim; he is only out here for 4 days. So as not to miss out on a days riding we decided to show him some of the local single-track. Sue took the day off to catch up with work so she offered to give us a couple of uplifts to the top of the hill. We started off at the top of the GR route and criss-crossed our way over the road before climbing up slightly and linking it with the angel’s descent. This was completely different in the wet. Apart from the fact that we were struggling to see anything with snow in our eyes, the rocks had become slippery. With this being as technical as it was it was just a challenge to get down in one piece. Jim soon discovered that flat pedals were definitely a good idea.

Back down in Bubion it was time to grab another lift to the top. We stuck to the GR trail this time heading straight down. I’m getting to know this trail now and it just keeps getting better and better. This was a tad greasier in the wet but this didn’t detract from the fun.
