Nuestras vacaciones en bicicleta de monta\u00f1a por los Pirineos para 2015<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I put together our Vacaciones en bicicleta de monta\u00f1a por los Pirineos<\/a> it was never meant to be fixed in stone. The idea was always to develop it, change the route some years and generally keep it interesting for us and fresh for all the people who return year after year. Yeah, we will keep some trails as a core but we don\u00b4t want to be doing the same thing year after year, no matter how good it is! And, let me be honest here but please don\u00b4t tell Amaia, it\u00b4s great to load up the van and head into the mountains to ride bikes, eat good food and drink nice local wine all in the name of trail scouting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If you would like to join us on a Backcountry Pyrenees mountain bike holiday then we have sold out 2014 and the next trips are starting in April 2015. We have already taken lots of bookings for the spring trips and availability is starting to get a bit limited so, particularly if you are a group of people, please don\u00b4t leave it too late to book! Vacaciones en bicicleta de monta\u00f1a por los Pirineos<\/a> Give us a shout to book for 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Orbea Rallon, Finally Set Up Perfectly For Me<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Very early on Friday morning Carlos arrived and we loaded the bikes into the basqueMTB van, along with more kit than seemed possible for two people. I was a bit excited, I\u00b4ve been riding the Orbea Rallon for a few months now but I have finally got it set up how I wanted. I changed the brakes for a set of Shimano XT\u00b4s, partly because they are so reliable and partly so I can use a supply of the fantastic Rahox brake pads which I already have. New white hoses and perfectly bled by my local bike shop, braking was set to go. I had also added a fresh set of Schwalbe rubber, Magic Mary front and Rock Razor back both in super gravity guise, to the Mavic Enduro wheels. The Mavic tyres I found good, the front is amazing and I liked the back one well enough, but they wore out quite quickly and when it came time to replace them I thought I\u00b4d try some Schwalbe for a change. I also had a new set of pedals. The Rallon is really low so I decided to get some thin pedals and went for the Raceface Atlas ones. New kit, new rubber, a bike I love, lets just say I was excited to put in some descending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
