Bonus Posted December 7, 2019 Author Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) Feeling the sun on your face in Deceber in the Northern Hemisphere! Can't be bad :-) Edited December 7, 2019 by Bonus barrykm and RossW 2
Bonus Posted December 15, 2019 Author Posted December 15, 2019 A quick trip up to the village of Campodarbe last weekend. Not bad weather for December in the Northern Hemisphere! The last picture shows the path back down to the small town of Boltaña, where we rent a flat. NickGM 1
Bonus Posted December 23, 2019 Author Posted December 23, 2019 The Trail Team have built a Jump in the Badlands at the bottom of Zona Zero Route 7.... They share the same approach but the original trail passes just to the left of the jump.
Bonus Posted January 5, 2020 Author Posted January 5, 2020 We've had a number of MTB Guiding enquiries over Christmas. Visitors that I'll be helping in the New Year. It won't be long before the days start to lengthen noticably and the sun warms up. January and February are normally pretty dry months and most of the trails around Zona Zero are good all year round anyway. I'm looking forward to getting back out there!
Meezo Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Thinking about coming for some shredding in late July early August. Will get in touch. Might be based with my brother in law in Barcelona Bonus 1

Bonus Posted January 11, 2020 Author Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Mid January . . . . the sun is shning and the trails are dry.... It's not what you would call "warm" here yet, but dress properly and after the first climb you'll be fine :-) Did a ride today up to the village of Sieste, which is just outside Boltaña and then came back down on Zona Zero route ZZ-18. It's a nice little loop with some beautiful views of the mountains to the north and of Morcat to the south. Parts of the trail that don't get any sun at this time of year were frozen, but not dangerously so. Was nice to get out there and stretch my legs and my lungs - I have some guiding work this week so I need to be up to scratch! Edited January 11, 2020 by Bonus
Bonus Posted January 14, 2020 Author Posted January 14, 2020 I'm guiding a guy visiting here from the Labanon. On our first ride we expored the Zona Zero Badlands. It was a chilly start while we rode alongside the Rio Cinca but as soon as we climbed up into the hills we warmed up. Turned out to be a beautiful day. The difference between riding in the sun and the shade is significant at this time of year - Sunny and warm versus frosty/icy and cold. Thankfully the shadey spots are few and far between! You can see from the second photo that the Badlands are quite a vast area...... Albatross and DJR 2
Bonus Posted January 14, 2020 Author Posted January 14, 2020 Some more from the Badlands . . . . The last picture is Nehme crossing a partially frozen stream . . . . shaper and DJR 2
Bonus Posted January 18, 2020 Author Posted January 18, 2020 We climbed up to the bench on the Partara, then came down the Partara Express. It a good few hundred meters of climbing but the descent is worth it! Acre, DJR and shaper 3
Bonus Posted February 2, 2020 Author Posted February 2, 2020 Sunny skies, snow topped mountains, dry trails . . . . I love my life! RossW 1
Bonus Posted February 23, 2020 Author Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Several tough rides over the last few weeks and I'm getting back into it after the winter break. Always amazes me how quickly the human body can get itself back into fairly reasonable shape . . . but then it also amazes me how quickly the human body can get itself back out of shape again if you take a week or ten days off! Temps this weekend were in the low 20's. No one here can believe it because it's really not normal. This time last year there was a dusting of snow on the ground. No bike pics, but I did take a "Spring" picture in Guaso on Friday while I was working on our Project. Edited February 23, 2020 by Bonus coppi and Mamil 2
Bonus Posted February 29, 2020 Author Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) This huge abandonded house - "La Capana" - and its outbuildings, which include a Hermitage and a small Church, are beside the trail of Zona Zero Route ZZ-014 "Camporrotuno and the Treasure of Dineretes" ...... Edited March 2, 2020 by Bonus DJR 1
Bonus Posted February 29, 2020 Author Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Some more of the house and the view down to the Dam. As you can see, our exceptional weather for this time of year carries on! Edited February 29, 2020 by Bonus DJR 1
Bonus Posted February 29, 2020 Author Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) If I won the Lotto I'd buy the whole lot and turn it into something amazing . . . . Meanwhile, in the real world, let's get our own place done first hey?? Edited February 29, 2020 by Bonus shaper and DJR 2
