Fall 2018

Day 6 – Panticosa (Biescas)

Locations were Val D’Aran – Day 1 || Benasque – Day 2 and Day 3 || Ainsa – Day 4 || Biescas Day 5 and Day 6
Then we spent three days riding in the Basque Coast
Then we spent another two weeks driving around Spain

Day 6, our last day of riding in the Pyrenees with BasqueMTB we do some more rides near Biescas. The weather is still warm and dry, but systems are approaching. We rode the trails built and/or maintained by Andres, again you can find more information on this area at his website here – BiescasDH. When I asked Andres if there was any conflict with other users in the area he looked at me with an odd look that said, Conflict with who? Nobody uses these trails as most of the young people have left, and the older people see the mountains as places of work not recreation. The only real users are the hikers and bikers. Yeah us!

6 day trip with BasqueMTB which had us stay in 4 places. Val D’Aran – Day 1 || Benasque – Day 2 and Day 3 || Ainsa – Day 4 || Biescas Day 5 and Day 6

Day 6 – Biescas – We descended 1600m and climbed 790m on trails including – Sobremon, Arrieras – a trail Andres has rerouted to make more sustainable and finally Punta Punero.
