First ride in Sanxenxo, Spain 2008

Hot day in Sanxenxo, on the south coast of Galicia. The bike is now fixed up with a new rear wheel to match the front one - a Swiss DT5.1 rim and Hope Pro II hub, which is much lighter the the old 729 downhill rim, on a broken XT hub. Only thing is it makes a clicking noise, which will take some time getting used to. Old front type ripped too, so I now have Larsen TT front and back, which seems to the preferred tire in for XC in Spain.
Rode over the hill behind Sanxenxo in hot sun, feeling the lack off fitness, and own for lunch at the Lores watermills. After lunch 1 1/2 hrs ride over the hills, up fairly steep fireroads and overgrown tracks. Coming down there is a new bike bike, mountain bike race loop in the soft brown earth. Excellent to be back on the bike without the usual rain and mud of the Pentlands.
