Just back from a little 2800 mile ride around Spain & Portugal.




Great roads, no traffic, fantastic people.

The road in that top photo looks great... up to a point!
No traffic... no wonder.
Sounds like fun though.

 
The ride may be fun, but in the Great Scheme of things, it really is about the destination! John 3:16

Nice to see you made it there again. Still hot is it ?

 
My first natural instinct is to breathe. My second is to evade tax's.

Hi Mat,
Not too hot this year apart from a couple of days when it did reach 37/38.
It's our 3rd trip to Spain but each time we have travelled to different areas to visit different places.
Found a couple of places that we would like to revisit to explore further. Want to spend more time in the Picos, rode through there this year but had to limit the riding to dual carriage ways for the first 2 days due to being stung by a wasp 1st day in Spain on eyelid. Very little vision out of eye for 2/3 days.
Ireland in August always a lot of fun. Then off roading in Spain for 6 days in September.

Hi Ivan,

Do you know the dates for the Picos next year?
