A really nice ride, 17km, a bit on road but mostly forest and hill tracks through horses and cows and cowbells, with just enough roughness to get the adrenalin going and put the training into practice. I'd guess about 1000m of descent (we started at 2100m). Lunch in the small Spanish town of Lilvia (there's a Spanish enclave around the town which is about 1/2 mile from the real Spanish border as apparently it declared that its town charter overruled the Treaty whereby this bit of Spain was ceded to France). We got back to the hotel about 3ish and all the younger kids have been sat in the hot tub (its now 5.20!), so Ruth's had a good afternoon anyway (mountain biking not really being her sport!).
