Spain was unbelievable. We rode road, gravel, a daft mtb descent and many many many hills. My knee eventually gave up and I had to get trains for the last few days but tbh I was happy to get as far as I got given how little riding I've been doing this year.
Bike did fantastic. I thought I'd found the limit of cable discs but that just turned out to be the limit of my mechanic-ing skills. Gearing was spot on, just about everything was rideable and I found the dt shifters great. They can be a pain in the UK, when wall-like climbs appear out of nowhere but it was totally fine in Spain. Experienced a bit of classic gk squirm. And cloth tape is a bit more abrasive than I remembered but it's all good. I love this stupid bike and the trips it's taken me on.
I'll get some pics and route up in time
