Re: Statins ?

Re: Portugal route

It`s a well worn route that avoids the tolls, just head down the west coast of France, Bordeaux, then towards valladolid, Salamanca, and south Merida, Zafra etc towards Seville. Alternatively at Zafra pick up the EX101 and onto the N435 down to the east/west motorway at San Juan del Purto, personall...

Re: Can you recommend some road riding boots please...?

With all the recommendations for Daytona boots, I got myself a new pair of “Daytona Journey GTX” bike boots this weekend from the Sportsbike shop in Leeds, they are more of a summer season ventilated boot with a gortex liner, so hopefully no more sweaty feet while riding in warmer temperatures.

Re: Sur-Ron Bikes

Good point. Where's 'around here'?. I can't remember that last time I saw a police officer or vehicle here in Northumberland, but legality is important to me. Here = South Yorkshire the police have a dedicated off road bike team of around 12 bikes inc T7’s, who actively ride their bikes off-road ar...

Re: Ferry from Portsmouth to Bilbao

I’m due on the Salamanca on the Thursday 7th, and they’ve moved the departure time forward from 22:00hrs to 19:00hrs, but as it’s a 2 night crossing it still scheduled to arrive at 08;00hrs on Saturday. So I suspect that they want to maximise the bar revenue. The No1 question is how expensive is the...
