Itinerary description

A picturesque ride in the Cadi mountains of Catalunya. Ignore the elevation spike at the start; this phone's gps must use Russian satellites!

Serious distance and altitude so bring plenty of food and drink. I take water sterilisation tablets and refill my bottles in streams.

Ï rode this mid-October so I saw very few people on the mountain. Try to do the ride in the week too to avoid the weekend hordes of picnickers and hunters.

Enjoy :D

Coll de Pendis

The sign in the village of Riu de Cerdanya puts the Coll de Pendis at 12km from the village. However, after a deceiving short descent the real climb starts after this bridge.

Looking across the valley I saw a pista hewn out of a sheer cliff face; something in me wants to be there next! The pursuit of the sublime!

No cafeteria, no gift shop, no tourists or motos on this coll. Just a sheperds car and a signpost.

Going down from here? Don't forget to lower that saddle!

yeah, as you lower that old saddle; smile to yourself knowing that you have not blown good money on a dropper post! How long does it take to get off your bike lower the saddle and jump back on? First world problems!

ФотоDowntime!

Downtime!

Take care with loose gravel; especially on the hairpins. Also going from sun to shade can make obstacles and adverse cambers harder to see!

    Very nice MTB trail. I was on an e-mtb that made the climb very easy. Nice views up on the mountain. The descent is long and awesome. Not very technical though.
