Biking in the cerros

The cerros de Alcala are a beautiful stretch of small mountains running just south of where we live, they have proven to be a place of exercise, escape and relaxing after my language classes. Today me and a missionary friend started out late around 8:30 due to some some quality Spanish traffic jam. We didn't have much time before the sun set but figured we could just push hard and make it to a very old church atop one of those small mountains ( or big hills! I never know what to call them, it's easier to say the cerros!) in a small pueblo called Los Santos. After a gruelling 15 klm bike ride mostly up we arrived at the church to see a breath taking view of the sun setting behind the mounts just north of Madrid! 

The pictures do zero justice to the view of the valley the church and the sun! But for me they more represent the fact that I actually biked all the way there in less then an hour! Then we got the treat of a a downhill ride almost all the way home. Besides the bugs that hit my like just like they cover a car shooting down the highway it was amazing, well worth it and I am excited to explore more of God's beautiful creation around me.

Ps- we made in home just before it was too dark to see the ruts in the path!
