basqueMTB - mountain biking holidays: We are guiding the last #backcountrypyrenees of Spring just now. Then it's into the Basque Coast and things are looking really busy. The Pyrenees are beautiful just now; little flowers, sunshine and snowy peaks. We have a repeat group of NZ trailbuilders
basqueMTB - mountain biking holidays: I have to admit that since I started #basquemtb my definition of "work" has become a bit distorted. Today work is scallops, tinto and a bit of #microfourthirds ! Tomorrow I'm back in the #pyrenees !

basqueMTB - mountain biking holidays: We spent quite a few days digging last week. New trails and lots more corners on some classic #basqueMTB trails. Now we just need a little bit of rain because it's all very dry and loose still. Here are a couple of the 22 extra corners we added on Numero
