What a winter that was; it started raining on the 24th of December and didn't stop for nearly two months... monsoon style. The locals around here are telling us that is has not rained this much for nearly 50 years. All across Andalucia roads were washed away and rivers burst their banks.
Spring is now in the air and sunny days are prevailing once again, temperatures hovering around 20 - 25 degrees, perfect MTBing weather. While the Junta de Andalucia play catch-up on their road works we are getting ready for the Cortes 60 Enduro, on the 24th April.
The 60 is a 65km loop starting and finishing in Cortes De La Frontera; there is 2500m altitude gain within both the Guadiaro and Genal River valleys. Those of you who have ridden with us here know that these valleys have some tough climbs with gradients of 30% in places. Add to that some rocky single track and long descents, you have yourself a pretty big day in the hills. The back drop isn't bad either.
Check out the slide show.
If you are interested in entering get in touch ASAP as there is a limited entry and the 60 is very popular. The price is our usual 450 euros for a week stay (21st - 28th) plus 30 euros for your race entry. We will do some easy pace pre race riding in the days before. We will also provide a five week training plan; There isn't really a better way to get into shape for the summer season.
If you don't fancy the enduro but want to come on one of our regular weeks we now have limited availability in April and are fully booked from 12th - 26th June.
Book early to avoid disappointment.
All the best
Christian
