Robots are cool

You might want to read part one too.

Since getting back work has been good but really busy and it’s making me not want to use a computer at home. Which means I can’t really be arsed writing anything too worthwhile about Spain and I certainly can’t be arsed integrating Flickr, which I’ve started to use for all my photos, to my own gallery for a while. So, for now, there are a couple of photos here and you can see the rest in the Flickr set.

Basic gist of the rest of the trip is that while the first week was pretty uneventful, the second was totally radge – drove over Sierra Nevada in a crazy storm; lost the hire car key (doh!); ate pasta; got bitten by some super nasty bugs when we bivvied; got pissed one night and wound up Dave’s brother on the phone (heehee); discussed the “top 5”s at great length; had an exciting ‘incident’; rode our bikes at nearly 80kmph in the wind; ate tuna; sat about in the roasting heat; got humped at table football by the cool Germans; saw a viper; finally got to ride in the Alpujarras (epic place); got big-time lost in Granada; ate peppers; cursed the roads, the maps and the signs many times; knackered my suspension forks and went for a little run or two. Dave will probably have some to add.

I don’t think we’ll go back to Spain for a while. It was great, but we both feel that we’re running out of easily accessible quality trails to ride. Next trip will be somewhere where we don’t have to drive but do have miles of awesome trails right out of the house. So, with a total u-turn of opinion (for me, at least), look out French Alps!
