El Vivero bike park is nestled in the hills near Bilbao in northern Spain. It was our introduction to Spanish mountain biking. We followed the trails off Trailforks. The car park has good facilities: a cafe, toilets, water fountains and plenty of picnic tables.
Trails we rode: Asuela, Sendero Central, Aranzelai, Parralela Carretera, New Golf. Thanks for watching!

We’re finally doing van life and we’ve made it to Spain this is day three and we’re doing our first mountain bike ride here so we’re just outside of the city of B BAU and we’re going by Trail Forks so on trail Forks this area that we’re
In is called el Vio but here as you can see it’s in the galaco region um we were actually recommended to come here by a local bike shop yesterday so hopefully the trails are good um we’re going to take it pretty chill just to find our legs again from the main compact it
Looks like you can go straight across the road to this gravel path we are looking for a trail called aelo I think don’t have a clue if these trails are going to be marked or anything but yeah everything we do today will probably be done off Trail Forks cuz that’s all we
Know we’ve just come down maybe 100 met down this gravel path and we believe we’re on a s I think that’s how you pronounce it anyway um there’s no signs but it definitely looks like a mountain bike trail looks fun I think it’s a short one maybe 380 M long not too far
Down so we’ll start with this then we might come back up again or we might try and find other ones we don’t want to go too far down to have to climb up and off a long way again anyway oh feels good to be biking wo quite roty oh I love the
Leaves I can’t see nothing woo it’s cool you happy [Applause] yeah just a roller just a roller as well up here just a roller stay going you’re good nice and confident lovely oh Jesus Christ sick there was way for many leaves on there I couldn’t see what was
Going on I know that was kind of a good thing I think we might be close to the end of this but that was fun maybe stop there now stop there stop stop yeah just cuz I just cuz you a bit sketched up there so I don’t want you to go
Down okay well it was only a blue and I’m just yeah but it was a blue but it probably difficult conditions oh we might have actually gone off as wher a little bit we were apparently on asua but I really enjoyed that what did you think it was cool so we’re already
Lost not lost but you know the trails aren’t marked here and we’re just going off Trail Forks but um still a bit tricky to see which Trail is what um so we’re thinking that the next one that we’re going to do is cero Central excuse my pronunciation just before a rock here on
The TR and turn right at this kind of rock did you see on your right hand side yeah here yeah turn right in there there you going you pass that other Rock oh I’m in the wrong gear it’s like the it’s the as Wella Summit marker of
Course left left of that tree and then you’ll it kind of becomes more of a visible Trail then then yeah get on right there this looked like we were on the right path when I was walking it oh nice try and get the confidence up like
Just stay s get the commitment up not the confidence the confid with commitment remember one on the blue so there shouldn’t be I know we don’t really know where we are but you only kind of stumbled in there because you no speed left or you looked at it okay ready yeah woo hidden
Rocks Nice yeah this makes sense we were meant to go a bit left uh hold on a second there there was just another trail to the right [Applause] so I think it’s the right line though yeah it looks like you’re following it it’s a little bit off camera that section and Nar
Off that kind of ran away with me I nearly ran out of ground that’s that’s an awkward turn right let try this section again cuz I messed it up it was an awkward running too I have no idea what I’m going to do differently that was better this part’s nice Monica
Better catch her at that definitely able for that yeah a sake I’m stuck in my bike ow wet oh I love the terrain there’s Mal nice bit slushy there yeah uh I think it’s probably going to be down that way this is eventful it’s so fun though it’s like
Exploring isn’t it oh yeah it be off to the right anyway another short section confidence back up positivity will bring confidence yeah I’ll give you a shout if there’s anything I can’t see nothing all right we’ll take it slow anyway I know just have to trust the bike
We might have a bit of a feature section you can practice here on this part looks fine with the exit looks on the steeper side can’t really see from here it’s fine when you go nice and slow you are going over routs might do it one more time I’ll go as slow as
Possible but you want to get like over the front wheel cuz that’s where all the braking is coming full commitment though and don’t hang back too far confidence now Malica nice stay confident exit on the right so we think that was senduro C cero Central accent cero Cal like she
Said we probably didn’t do it justice but it was a cool Trail there was some techy features on it so it’s hard to get the momentum going consistently but yeah it was a nice mix of flat with a couple of steeper sections just really cool terrain difficult enough conditions cuz
It’s new uh we haven’t been here before but the all the leaves are just covering the whole Trail so you don’t really know what you’re writing over um I think that’s your biggest problem wasn’t it no it’s also cuz we like we say this about everything but because we’ve been
Working on the van and stuff we just haven’t been riding frequently here we’re riding like once every fortnite maybe so but that last section was a good little win so we’ll keep taking the positives and yeah you’re just going to you definitely will get more confidence so it’s all about confidence yeah uh
Let’s try and figure out where we’re going Lally straight across the trail just to the left of it there’s another Trail called the Rand something like that and that looks like it leads straight down to a lake and that might be lowest point will go for the morning anyway we’ll start
Climbing up and yeah figure out what we’re doing over at the top we might have a coffee in the cafe left hand line Mal there’s a roofe there yeah woo could do it a bit of strimming a I’m glad I’m wearing gloves oh Jesus oh my
God stop up there Malik what stop up there the place is drenched huh slow down stop oh that’s yucky or or take your time anyway I was I was going down well as fast as I can go did you go through it yeah I was too far in to stop ow that’s
Gross might need to do a TR ra fars status report [Applause] that was poer exciting I’m just glad it didn’t fall off well it got absolutely destroyed just going to continue butchering all the names but we’ve come down and now we’re at a lake that sounds like Aro Oria
Oria Oria I’m not sure I don’t speak Spanish that was a it was a cool trailer at the top it was nice and narrow in places and then it just all of a sudden went into trenched wet it was a big surprise so yeah I don’t know how I said
On my bike but my legs were off it was quite fun so now this is probably the lowest will goal cuz it it’s deep in section so I I think we’ probably come down a decent distance that’ be a big enough pedal to the top but the place is stunning so it’ll even
Be a nice climb up hopefully and yeah conditions are pretty cool if we were used to the place then I think we’d have been awful lot of fun now if only I could wheelie this would be so cool really cool facilities all over the place here there like
Barbecues I don’t know how many picnic tables do whe I was Ted tted to do really Ted to try and I like I they going into the D if I try I have no idea sign of a fun ride after a quick cup of tea and B we’re now heading over
To the area where Golf and new golf are we might try new golf I think it’s a blue as well to get there looks like there’s a series of greens that look early level so maybe kind of cost CR riding but might be hopefully picturesque yeah we’ll take you on
Really impressed with the facilities over here so we’ve passed at least three or four of these water fountains and then there’s picnic tables everywhere and barbecue spots was a really good setup today is Tuesday so that’s why it’s pretty quiet but um yeah I’m sure it gets packed on the weekends stunning scenery
Wow fastest way seems to be on the road so here’s the new golf very strange entrance into two Trails just right off a very busy well not a busy road but yeah they’re just here 1 2 3 go yeah are you in yeah woo that’s already nice now I just take a Time
Bit of a rock garden I’d go on the right hand side line if you are going for it yeah I can do that I can do the right not even sure if I would go the right I went straight down did I go left I did go left okay good
Yeah no I too scared I probably held you up did I no you were fine I thought I was going to I was right behind you but I I was all right we’ll start here again cuz the the rest was fine wasn’t it yeah yeah right down in the middle oh over the
Middle nice you’ve got this section it’s easy straight down to the middle kind of on the right nice you did the hard bit well the harder bit should I do that again if you want to do it again do it again it doesn’t look like much from up here
It’s always the same though yeah you did the hard B first time but you stopped there it was just kind of exiting funny but then you went back and done fully so that’s the main thing isn’t it oh YouTube hug that was pretty much all
Of uh new golf and then it joins up to the original golf which looks like comes out there sh section left oh there’s the Gap that I will not be doing oh sick we did see that on the video yeah that’s that’s that’s hardcore I only do ply one foot
Gaps say shout out to youer W so we’re going to cut the video there cuz all that’s left to do now is find the van make our way back probably yeah bit of uphill so that’s only going to be boring anyway uh overall I think we had
Low hopes of biking in buo this is really fun actually I wouldn’t say low hopes we got excited looking at Trail Forks there was lots of places to go but yeah Bike Shop recommended to come here um but on trail Forks there was a lot of
Greens that we saw and we didn’t really know what to expect but I think it surpassed our expectations and it was really fun um but also you don’t hear of biking in B you don’t see many articles online and there wasn’t many videos on YouTube or anything so that’s why I’m
Saying I think it was pleasant surprise yeah definitely winter riding and just the leaves it’s all really cool you have to get used to it but I really enjoyed it anyway yeah I think for me um yeah it was mainly I needed to warm up and get
My confidence back cuz that trail was felt a lot better than the first trail that we did so yay it’s not me I’m not broken we’re going to try and Hammer out as many videos like this as we can around span cuz we’re going to try and
Explore as many bike trails as we can and so don’t forget to like And subscribe and hopefully see a lot more so if you got any recommendations on where to go we’re here for a month so drop them in the comments thank you the video would have to be able by before we
Leave Spain
