Just the average charge around the countryside, mostly we stayed out of any serious mud. Last day of carnaval so plenty of people around.

A road ride mixed with some gravel, spiced with a dash of mud & puddles. On the way we realised it was Carnaval, difficult to give a sense of the numbers pouring, driving, walking into the city. A lot of costumes, colours and Carnaval crackpots but all were calm & considerate during the early hours, bet it will be lively later. Chanced Chiclana Park and got away with it.

A short ride but it packed a lot of fun and it wasn't too muddy. First the woman (Dutch or German) pulling weighted tyres up & down the hill, the axle deep streams that have never existed during our 20years here, the cliff falls, the sand erosion (migrated to Morocco perhaps) and the number of bikers / pedestrians enjoying the dry (?) weather. Steve and I caught up after a 4 week riding "drought", had two coffees and a cookie in Conil and I'm now enjoying the snowy conditions (visually) in Milano Cortina. A day to remember and savour.

Guided(?) Michael to Caños and La Breña before turning off towards Vejer and some muddy trails. Once ya muddy there's no point trying to stay dry and clean.

Plenty of rain keeps the trails firm but muddy, rode further than expected, good coffee but only a half-cup-of-tea for Steve. Down the wriggly rocky trail from Vejer, under the rickety rackety (muddy) bridge then a quick clara at Antonio's before a long bike cleaning session at home - so it goes.

Muddy, not up to your knees muddy but muddy enough. Had to get Steve home in time for the Abu Dhabi F1 GP.

Well, an uneventful crossing and landfall, straight through immigration and customs into Tarifa, suddenly we're back in Spain. There are 75km of well ridden road between Tarifa and home, there's a stiff northerly wind and a hunger in my belly, better get a move on. Six hours later I was checking in with my daughter and her kids, all fine, then home for a good feed and a glass or two of wine. Another tour in the bag.

Ah, I've been fine watching from the sidelines until I saw the photos of the snow. Damn, now I really wish I'd joined you!
