  1. haha yeah - a bit ;-) Of course it really depends what exactly everyone wants to see/do on a trip here and what time of year you plan on coming. As you say, for the moment Covid (even if you had the cash) is the limiting factor. We have some excellent road riding around here. The roads are in good condition and there's very little traffic. We are in the foothills of the Pyrenees though - so you get some amazing riding but not a lot of the flat easy stuff..... If you start thinking about it seriously I'll advise as best I can. Feel free to drop me a message any time.
  2. MTB Guiding. We're in the Spanish Pyrenees in the middle of the Zona Zero trail network. I have a thread on that too! https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/163751-the-pyrenees-road-mtb-enduro-riding-trail-building-iconic-gt-climbs-nearby-attractions/
  3. Ha - I wish! We have everything in place to build, but the banks, despite saying initially that they could, can't help us with finance. We've started looking into private financing / private investors but it's not easy at the best of times and of course this year it's been even more tricky than ever. We have a thread on here about it: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/182710-bonus-wendys-monday-evening-private-investment-thread/ We're optimistic that we'll come right, and meanwhile we're keeping ourselves busy. We're working when possible, riding, walking and generally enjoying life and doing what we can "for free" on the project (gardens etc). Let's see what the future brings . . . . .
  4. A sunny afternoon riding through the Castle grounds up in Ainsa Old Town. Normally there would have been loads of people enjoying the day :-( #Covid19 #2020
  5. There was heavy rain up in the mountains for 24 hours..... It's difficult to imagine this is one of our swimming spots in the Summer time! Thankfully the sun came back today and normal service was resumed :-)
  6. RJVR 7th over the line :-)
  7. a tyre width in it!
  8. Last lap . . . .
  9. I've seen properties with loads of security, but then a low building (like this car port) or water tanks or something that compromise everything. An easy route onto your roof then slide a few tiles and bingo! I always say, you'll find out how secure your property really is the day you lock yourself out/lose your keys! We were shocked at how easy it was to gain entry to our own house.
  10. 18 secs
  11. 23 secs in it
  12. wow he's shifting!
  13. Can he do it???
  14. Some last minute route changes this year . . .
  15. I know the feeling..... ;-)
  16. 6 at the front . . . .
  17. 1.8km to go and the chasers can see the leaders . . . .
  18. We've just started season 3 of True Detective. Season 2 was good - we enjoyed it and this one looks good too. I didn't watch the first season - "Wendy" watched it on her own, I didn't get past the second episode. Just too slow.
  19. Yesterday I did part of Zona Zero Route 15 (ZZ-015) which is five minutes down the road from Boltaña town. A 40 minute climb on a really nice gravel track followed by a 12 minute descent on a combination of farm trail / jeep track / goodness knows what. The trail goes up to the village of Silves, which actually consists of two parts - the upper and the lower village (Silves Alto and Silves Bajo). The village is semi-inhabited. The houses will all have been "in the family" for ever and I'm not certain but I believe that the houses that are occupied are actually holiday places and the families actuall live elsewhere. The village sits at about 900m and the views are, as usual, stunning. It's surprising how quickly you find youself way up above the road you were just on!
