A day on the bike that shouldn't be possible in the middle of January! That's more of an observation than anything else, as I was more than happy to be able to do it.
This was a TrailForks find, when I was looking for some proper elevation. Needless to say, I found it.

That was great! I'm glad you didn't do a pile driver into that ditch!! The views at the top were fantastic. It would be great to post your Stava/Trailforks gpx. I can live vicariously for now. Cheers
First link in the description on every video 👍
Wow what a trail and good riding Andrew that was a close call at the end
Incredible views what a beautiful area to ride 👍❤️🚵🏻
Such an awesome place overall 👌
Well done for spotting the last bit in time,awesome trail and footage. Sat behind a computer watching the rain lashing down and wishing I was on a bike in the sunshine
That was definitely a close one 😜
I have the same tyres on my DH bike. Awesome. I was wishing you were wearing gloves as you approached that rock notch towards the end!
They’re fantastic tyres imo👌
looks like an amazing track. Bucket list for sure
Absolutely 👍
Might just have to check that one out on our next trip😎
100% worth it, and not too far from Tremp either.
proper nice trails and riding Andrew, top vid....glad you saw the drop on that last trail in time!
You and me both!😱
Very good . Love it . Looks amazing 😮
Thank you! Cheers!
Great Stuff buddy enjoyed the Video 🚴👌👌
Awesome riding Blind. Looked like some fabulous trails
They are!👌
Mint riding Andrew. That Claymore looks super stable on that fast rubble stuff at speed. I’m defo thinking my next Amish bike will be that 😉
It’s an absolute beast of a bike!
A Highlander may be a better choice depending on what you ride most often.
Not as much tech, more fast and chunky. NZ type stuff.
@@lezbig535 the Claymore is probably the right choice then, it’s built for fast chunk.
Crazy speeds! Nice work!
Yes, thanks
Well worth the mooch bro that was a belta few decents . Rode well dude . Another bangin vid mate 👊
Thanks buddy! Absolutely worth the effort on this one👍
Awesome Andy. Well ridden mate.
Thanks 👍
These videos are awesome mate.
Glad you think so!
Great Trails, another awesome well presented video. The views look absolutely stunning.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@McTrailRider Eager for the next one.
Fantastic!😀
Thank you! Cheers!
Brilliant bro 💪🏾
Thank you 🙌
Awesome location and great riding, "I'm glad you go to spec savers" 🤣.✌❤
I probably would still be here if I didn’t go to Specsavers😜
Man that was a great descent for the top-half and, proper gnar with that black trail which seemed like a hard red until the very very end, then it just went, nah eff u I'm a black! Brilliant riding. 5 ⭐🤘
Haha, good analyses Richard.
What app are you using on your watch to follow gpx files?
Looks a great run!
Awesome matey, exceptional trails, however, i'm going on three seperate ski trips next month in three different french alpine resorts and you are not instilling confidence in the snow 😆 ride safe my friend and continue to enjoy the amazing experience...
Hmm, things don’t look too great for skiing on the continent as far as I’m aware 😬
@@McTrailRider 😬
Liking the new catch phrase! Orange will have up their game!
You’ll need to enlighten me Mitch, in running a bit slow this evening 🤦🏼♂️
@@McTrailRider juice worth the squeeze !! 🍊 bikes
@@mitchwarren1600 well that makes perfect sense now that you say it 🤦🏼♂️ It’s a good phrase tbh.
Awesome, well riden.
Thanks Andrew 👍
Great video and trails! wondering what app you are using to follow gpx on your watch?
I’ve found the “Footpath” app to be the best for guiding you from a Gpx file. “Workoutdoors” is also very good, but doesn’t give you any prompts for directions.
Question did you have the trail downloaded on your phone and if so so can you see the map of the trail on your watch? In one segment you mentioned the trail was hidden on the rod I thought maybe you referenced your watch.
Thanks
Again great POV video of the trail
I can use the phone and/or the watch for following routes. I use the “footpath” and “worksoutdoors” app for such tasks.
@@McTrailRider Thank you I’ll check them out. Started following you / Subbed way back when @BKXC Brian was on your side of the pond and you did a video series together. Love your content !!! 👍🚵🏻♂️
pic de l'orri dh I did it too last year,amazing!!😜🤘🏻
Good to hear, it’s awesome isn’t it 👌
Looks grand. 19 degrees in Tremp today. Ainsia tomorrorw. 😊
Oh man, amazing! I’m back home now, and not liking the weather😢
@McTrailRider today is my last ride may be one tomorrow. Of to do route 7 at Ainsa. Must be 18 degrees. Waiting for my derailleur battery to charge. I'm not sure I like that!!
Djeezes what a trail! 🤤😵💫
Amazing eh 👌
I am 95% certain where you filmed this video. Are there any specific reasons why the location is not shared to the wider populace?
First link in the description on every video 👍
How is the Crafty doing? Is it still knackered?
Next video will answer all 👍
Savage
Cheers😜
Just thinking about you riding solo out there.... Do you still have your Inreach SOS beacon? .. or is there enough mobile phone signal to just rely on that?
I actually sold the Inreach after I got the iPhone 14 as it has satellite capabilities built in, and it doesn’t need a monthly subscription either 👍
ah yeah! i remember that now.. it'd be nice if in Android phone would try to copy that idea... for those of us that dont have / cant afford iphones.
Can the iphone use satellite to send normal text messages / calls to any number or just SOS only?
@@memphisrainesgallery it’s emergency use only unfortunately.
Maybe that will change in the future though.
There’s no real reason Android couldn’t copy it as far as I’m aware.
Tremp or Ainsa?
Sort, just along the road from Tremp. Clock the Strava link in the description for more details 👍
Noice.
Thanks
