“Xin Nian Kuai le!”, happy new year! This is the year of the Tiger, it tells me I have to ride more aggressively this time!
However, today I went for an easy ride, on the eve of our reunion for the customary CNY team training camp. The roads were quieter than usual, and I enjoyed the special atmosphere of this holiday. 
No matter how many lanterns I have seen already in my life, I still love the way they hang, swing and light in all places, like this bridge near Taiping (yellow lanterns instead of the usual red ones).

It is also good for bike-handling skills, specially when it is muddy and slippery as it is here sometimes.

Last Sunday I rode 4 hours inland direction to Navarra, then up a small mountain to France, then westbound to the coast to return to Hondarribia.
