Malaga Details

Matt, this one is mostly for you I guess. Not sure whether you got my text, but we've booked flights to Malaga over Easter, a great test case halfway down the road to the Etape! Slavin, Adrienne, Ferris, Toine, Tatiana, the Gorila and myself will be there. Goes without saying you should be there too!
Goril and myself will be there from wednesday 19th - monday 24th,
the Slavins from thursday 20th - tuesday 25th
Toine and his francaise from friday 21st - monday 24th

The aim is of course to do 2/3 serious rides, no idea yet if we'll bring our own bikes but hopefully so. The Skarlund-family support our efforts and have donated their house for this trip, so we'll have a roof, some bedrooms, a few showers and most importantly a roof terrace with bbq. The ocean is about 1km away, so while we're wrecking are bodies on Southern Spains dessert-roads, the girls can mingle with the 80 year old English pensioners and local pensionados. Will put up some pics of the house and stuff later.

The village is called Almayate, close to Torre del Mar and about 20km away from Malaga. Nice little towns close by are Nerja, Frigiliana and if you English folks feel home sick, you can drive to Gibraltar, you practically own the place.
We'll have to rent a car, for the usual errands and so, Goril will take care of that.

Will start looking for routes to cycle soon, lets get on google earth!
