Boars Die, Drones Fall & Spirits Rise (Montsec Bikepacking Loop) 

Cycling the world - Europe: 144 episode
Embark on a captivating journey through Catalonia's Montsec Bikepacking Loop in this fifth episode, where adventure unfolds under the Spanish sun. Departing from the village of Benabarre after being stranded by heavy rains, I set off into a day that promises the chill of early winter with the sun high but temperatures heading below freezing by nightfall. The trail outside the village, shrouded in woods, offers a blend of beauty and challenge, with muddy paths and the unexpected thrill of nearby hunting operations targeting wild boars. Each dirt road leads me from one vibrant valley to another, showcasing the colorful woods in their early winter attire. As the afternoon progresses into a lengthy climb towards sunset, the effort keeps me warm against the cold, even as I experience a minor setback with my drone. Amidst the ascension, a mesmerizing dance of probably Griffons above heralds the expansive views of snow-covered Pyrenees in the distance. The day's ride, though marred by the sight of a hunting party's catch, closes with a breathtaking orange sunset that blankets the sky, woods, and road, marking another remarkable day on the loop.
