A slightly different ride today as we actually start at the top of one of my favourite (and most local) rides of La Vella which sits at 838m alt between the Costa Blanca south and the Hondon Valley.
This ride is all about the descent and rather than me chatting away on the ride, this is all about the descent.

The initial part of the ride is along the access dual track from the summit with the Costa Blanca to the right and Hondon Valley to the left with speeds of 52km/h which trust me is fast enough on tracks with loose gravel.
We then turn off onto the technical, rocky and steep single track with a few small jumps along the way. We get glimpses of La Vella to our left to judge the descent so far and the stunning Hondon Valley to the right.
We roll out the ride through the pomegranate groves near Urb. La Montanosa in the Hondon Valley – Hondon de las Nieves.
