Saturdays are a rest day in general for the Spanish so they spend all of the day racing around dressed in Lycra, helmets on, in a colourful display of resistance designed to get the legs pumping and the countryside seen.

I took a few videos yesterday and placed them into a longer video about Torres Torres, a small town outside Valencia. You can see the video at the link. It has more stuff about living in Spain and buying property but you get an idea about what a Saturday ride means for the average Spanish person there.

Road bikes are the main use in this type of cycling although there are many who go off road with mountain bikes or hybrids as the area around lends itself to some spectacular scenery and varied terrain
