Friend of mine has taken the plunge and set up for mountain biking in Spain.

Hope he does well.

you been there?

looks like they have a bike park as well.... i'm supposing chair lifts...

anywhere cheap, accessable, DH runs that are actually maintained and not Morzine will do well IMO

I guess the downside is being blow to bits by ETA.

but he's cunningly called his site basquemtb.com to keep them sweet

[Stu Littlefair]

Yeah, that's going to work, given that they call it Euskadi.

as long he doesn't put all his basques in one exit.

No, not been yet. He's getting things underway at the moment, we plan to get down there in the van, armed with climbing gear, boards and bikes, hopefully next autumn. Too many weddings (my brother is getting married at the top of Mon Cherie at Les Gets in July) and big birthdays to sort out before then.

tres amusant.

He also makes no reference to having to wear any lingerie.

Apparently the biking round Doug's area is featured in Singletrack this month. Had reset films and Rowan Sorrell visiting and filming.

Rowan sorell has a dis integrated shoulder if Dirt Mag is to be believed.

any sneaky vids??

[SA Chris]

When was that? i think they were there earlier in Summer.

Some vids on bacefook mebbe, will look at home.

[SA Chris]

Doug reckons it was after he had his crash, and he was still recovering when there, but still managed some impressive wipe-outs. Footage is hopefully going to be on FIND, the follow up to HOME.

Doug's place is featured in the latest Dirt mag top 50 places to ride in Europe.


edit - looks like he needs some help with the website though!
