A nice training run in Casa de Campo

Just went out on a nice training run on the MTB in Casa de Campo. By far most of the time the trails will be dry here, as Madrid does not get much rain. Now that it has been raining though the terrain was quite different. Besides the rain having created cracks in the normally flat dirt tracks, it was challenging to keep my "footing" at times due to the mud.

Besides many tracks I had not been on before, I also passed by the dreaded downhill where I crashed recently. This time I descended with skill and grace, bummer there were no witnesses. At 8 in the morning it's very very quiet in CdC. Neither Frans nor Edwin were able to join today so I guess they'll have to take my word for it.

All in all training is going well, should keep this pace up and pick it up maybe a little running up to the Camino early next year.

Am writing this blog post from the warmth of our local aprés-MTB hang out, a bar at Lago called Montaloya. The café con leche and tomato bread went down real well.

Hasta la próxima
