The
great thing about one of these bike trips is that you get to ride all
day long, if you want, and then have a great party at night, hanging out
sipping a little scotch while Mariano fires up the parilla to cook an
asado. We saw some beautiful countryside in Tandil, stopping midday for
an excellent picnic in a park outside of town, looking out over some of
the most beautiful farmland I've seen.

surrounding hills of Tandil have to offer going through Independence

At sunset we head back to the Inn to shower and taste Tandil´s
famous cheese and sausages in a place called "Cheese
Times", the oldest house in the city built in 1860 for
diligences stops and now converted into a location well recognized
as a specialist in cheese, sausages and home made jams
The second day we head out on Devil´s

we will be riding a small stone path called "El picapedrero"
within beautiful landscapes. Later we'll visit "El Centinela"

we will stop for lunch.
Afterwards we return to Tandil following beautiful and challenging
single tracks with a great little downhill run - the joy of
mountain biking!
When we get back in Tandil, we will soak up a rejuvenating
shower and leave towards Buenos Aires.
