calm before the storm in Andalucía

So far the Andalucía Bike Race is looking good, I´m not sure if I´m in Córdoba or heaven. This morning Josh and I went to explore the trails out the back door of our hotel and the start of tomorrows race. Steep climbs in 25 degrees heat takes some adjusting to but I could get used to it! We found some great singletrack, a mixture of fast and bermy or technical and rocky, with stunning views out across the city and surroundings.

The race organisation is incredible with every need catered for, and with accommodation in a 4* hotel this really is the life of luxury. The atmosphere is super chilled out with loads of world class pros hanging around to chat to.

This afternoon we explored Córdoba, wizzing through the narrow streets, dropping down steps amongst the old ruins and Moorish buildings and scattering tourists. Traditional tapas and a sneaky beer on a sunny terrace were essential race preparation too.

Can´t wait for tomorrow!
