Over the course of the year, Spain has quite a few National Fiestas (Bank Holidays) and I tend to forget about them until a couple of days before. Usually, this means I don't have time to organise anything and another bonus biking day goes by without turning a wheel.
This week was no different and I had to be reminded by my lovely wife on Thursday evening that Friday was a fiesta and I should really get out on my bike again.
Sometimes you just need to get out on your bike, it doesn't matter where you are going or how long you will be out, you just need to be out. This is how I felt last Saturday.
What better way to spend a sunny Sunday morning than messing about on dirt bikes!
It's been a good few years since I have been off road in any capacity, the last time being on our old BMW F650, riding some tracks in the valley near my home. This would be different though, a two and a half hour training session with a flat track twist.
What to do on holiday if you don't have a bike to ride but need a buzz? Throw yourself off a bridge of course.
Deciding to buck the trend and ride a bike instead of staying at home to polish her nails was the start of a rollercoaster ride for Maria Costello. Buying a bike and hiding it from your parents is one thing but deciding to go racing and keeping that from them is another entirely.
This route can be split into three distinct sections with different surfaces and road types.
