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.

Nothing too technical as we're riding hardtails (no excuse some would say but I am not that good a rider). We've done the red and black runs at Llandegla which aren't that taxing on the limbs and there are plenty of other trails along those lines around these parts. Congrats on the big ride, beats bumming around on the beach
