Dusty trails!

Now I'm no racer these days so, as a break from running the Yeti demo van to various races and events, I headed off to the Sierra Nevada mountins in Southern Spain.
On a pal's recommendation I went with Ciclo Montana, the longest established mtb holiday company in Spain. Lisa, my better half, had been out with them last year and had raved about her holiday ever since and, after many weekends in muddy UK fields, I was eagerly awaiting it.

Right from the off it was a perfect mix of lovely weather, great company and food mixed with some ace technical singletrack riding. For anyone looking for a riding trip away from the more obvious Alpine areas, I would highly recommend it - the riding is true 'big' xc riding with long climbs (or sometimes minibus lifts!) followed by seemingly endless techy, rocky and dusty singletrack descents. Luckily modern trail bikes such as the 575 from Yeti make such riding so much easier, light enough to make the climbs a breeze but enough travel to rip up the downhills!
