Not sure if XC trails is the way to go if your knees are suffering?

Wife and I just finished a 550km bike ride from Burgos to Santiago de Compostella in Spain (not in one day). The Spanish hills were interesting. Not the crazy gradients you get in the UK, but they go on forever. Was very pleased with my 22tooth granny. Managed to get to the top of most of them with depleted thighs, but without being out of breath. Good workout all-round.
