Itinerary description
Serious distance and altitude so bring plenty of food and drink. I take water sterilisation tablets and refill my bottles in streams.
Ï rode this mid-October so I saw very few people on the mountain. Try to do the ride in the week too to avoid the weekend hordes of picnickers and hunters.
Enjoy :D

Coll de Pendis
The sign in the village of Riu de Cerdanya puts the Coll de Pendis at 12km from the village. However, after a deceiving short descent the real climb starts after this bridge.

There is always another pista somewhere
Looking across the valley I saw a pista hewn out of a sheer cliff face; something in me wants to be there next! The pursuit of the sublime!

Coll de Pandis
No cafeteria, no gift shop, no tourists or motos on this coll. Just a sheperds car and a signpost.

Going down from here? Don't forget to lower that saddle!
yeah, as you lower that old saddle; smile to yourself knowing that you have not blown good money on a dropper post! How long does it take to get off your bike lower the saddle and jump back on? First world problems!

Downtime!
Take care with loose gravel; especially on the hairpins. Also going from sun to shade can make obstacles and adverse cambers harder to see!

Nefol
A brutal climb upto Nefol to enjoy some singletrack back to Pi. They want you to come and live here!

Very nice MTB trail. I was on an e-mtb that made the climb very easy. Nice views up on the mountain. The descent is long and awesome. Not very technical though.
I am glad you enjoyed the route. Cheers
