Thanks for this man. Think were just going to do an abridged version of badlands and tour it. I've just had the covid so looking forward to getting left for the vultures by @Netakure on some bleak desert.

Thanks for this. Will have a look at the Badlands routing - hadn't realised it started in Granada.
First attempt at a loop from Malaga.

Other option with a bit less off roading in the mountain range. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42051822?privacy_code=JUUP9Z6N3UIJfkcb

Plan is to go end of March. Figured campsites/b&bs might well be closed and will need to lug tent about with.
North side of the range looks abit more isolated for resupply but I've not properly looked into it yet if we do decide to do the loop proper.
Definitely remember reading someone's account of it who I swore was on here. Or at least maybe I got linked to it from here? Scottish guy/bike reviewer iirc I think right before the pandemic did the route. That was the original inspiration if it rings a bell with anyone?

Anyone done it?
Considering the whole loop starting/finish in Malaga with a train no doubt involved somewhere along the way potentially as we only have 7 days. Or taking in the southern section of the route and just cutting across to Alicante.
Did a ride when in Malaga in November with the gf and keen to get back as it was great!

I asked around installing something privately that runs across the pavement. No interest in entertaining it. I could still go the EV route, install a wall charger on the front of the house, run a cable over the pavement and put down something to guard / hide the cable but the fear is some old codger trips over it in the dark when out walking there dog.
Hadn't factored this in when buying the house.

Have Toyota hybrid. 64mpg average.
Having to give it up as company going EV / PHEV. I'll be going PHEV with no driveway, never charging achieving a measly 30mpg no doubt. Had the option of the EV but can't see how to make it work without a driveway or charging at office ( to which I cycle).
Realise I'm the bad guy in this instance. Asked the council about on street chargers in the future and no reply.

@Greenbank thanks for this! Very helpful advice. I think I was a bit guilty of doing far too short sprints but at max intensity. Sounds like I might benefit from backing off a bit and increasing distance/time of intervals. I can definitely see some sort of watch in my future, even just a basic cheap and cheerful thing for timing would be handy.

What's a good basic interval programme? At the moment I'm sprinting lamp post to every other lamp post, walk for abit, repeat. I'm sure it's fine for my very basic needs but thought it might be worth looking into something abit more structured. I don't have a running watch etc so that might be on the cards if I need to get one to do it properly.
@tmevans what's the deal with trains on the Granada / Antequera, is it a book bike on etc or roll on roll off? Can't find much info other than high speed trains all need to have bikes broken down and the timetable suggests this is a high speed route.
