Rainy day today! We spent Valantines day cycling up into the Sierras and a very enjoyable lunch, “Menu del Dia” at the La Perdiz after a cycle over the pass to Fuente del Hilo (much puffing!) to find it closed. After that we explored the park a little to find the dinosaurs footprints under a suspension bridge, we returned via Casa Leiva and a long uphill route to the saddle followed by a long freewheel down back to El Berro. We all enjoyed the scenery and sunshine and almost no traffic on the roads. We caught glimpses of squirrels and two wild goats in the park but few birds although we heard quite a few in the pines. Sue and Brian have left us to return east to the coast whilst we continue to the south coast, hopefully leaving the rain behind us. Here's Helen braving the last hill of the day and getting a clear view from just below the saddle. I wasn't far behind!!
