Riding The Steep Slopes of Northern Spain | MTB Cantabria
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2024
- McTrail Rider and I had a two day road trip planned in and around Cantabria. We had been invited to ride the steep slopes of northern Spain with local rider and fellow UA-camr Sergio Tezanos of Enduro Singletracks.
Over the two days Sergio was going to show us some of his favorite natural mountain bike trails. In today's video we started climbing from La Vega (Liébana), up through the hamlet of Maredes with the final and horrendous push up to the huge cross at La Viorna. From here we started the descent that would take us down to the stunning village of Potes.
It was loose and steep. Very, very steep. But that's mountain biking in Cantabria. The mountains here are high and still covered in snow at this time of year. Surrounded on one side by the Picos de Europa, the only kind of riding here is steep and technical. Both up and down!

I have to say that Cantabria was a stunning place to ride. The Picos de Europa as a backdrop are hard to beat. The trails throw everything at you and to top it off, it's vertical. The only downside is the local riders are fit, really fit 😂
I shall return! Enjoy the videos guys!
Fantastic trails & really appreciate that you & Andy are able to share it with us.Thanks
Thanks. It's our pleasure 😉
Just that opener in itself. Stunning. I like that I've seen you an Andrew's video back to back. Two perspectives, both super enjoyable.
Cheers man. That opening shot is probably my favorite. Absolutely stunning.
Que me voy, que me voy c*ñ* .... Great !!! Gran video y gran sitio.
Jaja. Seguro que me entendió 😂
nice one!
Thanks!
Totally awesome. Great to watch after a day at work. Getting me stoked for the weekend. Thanks.
Thanks Andy! Glad to help with the stoke 🤘
Superb Mate. Great trails and great riding.
Cheers Mark. Appreciate it!
OK, now I need to go to Cantabria! Great video!
Haha. Yep, another one for the list.
Pretty nice descents! Keep It Rolling always my friend!!😉😉
Haha. Words to live by!
Awesome descents, edge of seat stuff, loved it :)
Thanks man. The Rocky section at the end was a ton of fun. Wanted to do that one again, straight away 🤘
Great work showcasing Cantabria! I think the tourism board needs to hire you 👍👍.
Thanks! I would love to do something like that...
Nice video Nathan!! The drone footages are really cool! I'm glad you liked the Liebana's trail. Hope to ride with you two again!
Thanks for showing us around Sergio. You have some awesome trails and live in a very privilegded place
It was a pleasure! Our trails get worse when it rains jejeje. We were very lucky with the weather
@ Haha. Ye, it was a "little" dry :)
Another great video! Really enjoy how you mix the riding with a bit of overview of the area you are riding at. Hope to ride in Spain someday but it's a bit of a shuttle from Canada.
Jaja. And I'd love to ride in Canada! Glad you're enjoying the videos, appreciate the support 👍
Nice riding sir, they are some amazing trails
Cheers! There are some stunning trails up north. Take your breath away, especially if you go OTB on the vert 😂
¡Qué lugar más bello! ¿Será que el norte es mejor para MTB?
Mejor no se. Hay buenas zonas por todo España. Pero el norte sí que tiene sitios alucinantes.
What tyres are you riding ?
I have a WTB VIGILANTE up front and am old.Maxxis high roller on the back with a cushcore tire insert. 👍
