As he can accommodate 4/5 people we booked for early April.
Found a few trails on wiciloc and added the gpx files to the Montana.
As Flix is only about a 4hr drive from us on the French side of the Pyrenees, we arrived around 12:00 and with a bit of shopping for the essentials, beer, wine and food for the BBQ, we set off around 2pm.
A trail of approx 75km was ideal for the afternoon ride, mostly off-road but with a few tarmac sections. Alan joined us on this one, making 5 riders.
The trail was to the south west of Flix, and climbed up to 550m were the gravel tracks had been installed for the Wind Turbines. After this the trails went narrower and more interesting, passing through Olive and Almond groves. A couple of sections seemed to be difficult to follow the trail as the track seemed to disappear due to farmers ploughing around the trees and land. We made our detours and got back on the original trail. The views over the valley from the top at 550m are spectacular, and worth a moments pause to see.
The trail was easy, with one or two more technical sections, a very steep decent, and loose gravel like riding on marbles.
A steady ride back, for the the well deserved cold beers!!
First BBQ of the year in the warm Spanish climate..
Day 2 to follow.
