  1. I'll be in Valencia Spain June 9 - 13 and would like to bring my fixed gear to do some cycling.
    Having never been to Europe before...any tips?

    I found a cue sheet on a Godella club web site perso.wanadoo.espabgilan ...maybe cycle to
    Bu~nol and/or the peak at l'Oronet.

    Most of the photos I've seen have been fat-tire MTBs... ...and the terrain looks something like
    Texas... ...will I encounter those accursed "goat-head" thorns that seem to be the bane of cyclists
    in the southwest of the U.S.?

    I am jealous. But the fixed gear will be a challenge on some of the hills.

    I've seen a bunch of road riders.

    I don't think so. You will encounter glass, and traffic.
