Day twenty-six

January 6th is Xmas day here, the day the 3 kings give presents to the good girls and boys. So, for us it was a good excuse to have Xmas dinner again. Manage to squeeze a little ride around the block in between glasses of wine and mountains of food.

Merry Christmas again!!!!

Day twenty-five

One quarter of the way....

Today, I little explore on some of the off-road tracks locally that I havent tried before. Didnt find anything special but did find a nice long climb/trail that doesnt seem to suffer from mud, it connects to the GR99 which has some nice singletrack on it, so that's nice.

Weather - warm and damp

The white thing is the airport.

Day twenty-four

Felt better today, so a proper ride. Did a nice little ride up to the coast on the road bike. Went via where a friend is moving to, looks very nice, great views and nice restaurant at the end of the street.

Weather - Damp

Day twenty-three

Today I was pathetic, had mancold, felt yuk. Still went on my bike, a little ride around the yard. I dont care how short it was, I'm counting it.

Weather - unimportant.

Day twenty-two

I've got a cold, it's trying to stop me riding but I nipped out while it wasnt looking. Fortunately I managed to start the day with a Tortilla, so felt full of energy. Just a standard road loop round the local area, unfortunately I was daydreaing a bit and rode into a lamp-post. Managed to rip my 10 year old gloves and bend my little finger - doh.

Weather - gone horrible again.

Day Twenty-one

Woke this morning feeling little heavy-headed, drnking brandy, red wine and port was probably the reason. So, decided to stroll into the village for a coffee and tortilla, but horror!!! nothing was open, and I mean nothing, not even a baker, this is the quietest I've ever known a Spanish town to be. Deflated, I sluched home.

Made myself some breakfast and then headed out on the Kona for a ride round the coast. There were loads of people out walking and cycling, enjoying the sunshine. It's like spring here at the moment.

It's traditional to make resolutions for the coming year. For me, I need to travel more to go biking, I hate driving though. Gotta be braver.

Day Twenty

I was all set to see out the old year with a long ride. Had everything prepared, sandwich, bike in the boot, stuff ready to make a flask of coffee. Then I wake up with a cold - dammit. Hung around at home all day, drank lots of coffee, got bored, went for night ride which ended on top of a hill near home to see the new year in. It was a great place to watch the fireworks and have a nip of brandy.

Happy New Year everyone!!!
