Re: Satnav vs Mounted Phone
To get a large screen. I made a mount for an old Android tablet that was not used anymore. Loaded it with OSM - maps And OSMAND app. It worked fine for predefined routes/tracks. But than they change the format for the maps... => I needed to upgrade the app, but that was not possible due to too old a...

Re: Plans for North West Spain
Two places that we keep going back to, the bufones are a bit weather and tide dependent but always worth a visit, the mining area is worth a full explore and also look out for the canals feeding into it. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Las+M%C3%A9dulas/@42.4595696,-6.7601056,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!...

Re: Plans for North West Spain
All of the Picos area is a really good ride so I don't think you'll go wrong whichever route you take. I'd say check out the town of Llanes to the north and the bigger town of Gijon also to the north, which are both on the coast but surprisingly close to the Picos Mountains, if you want a couple of...

Old men in Algarve on gravel
What started 3 years ago with some test rides on gravel roads has now grown to a formal activity. With an Algarve Senior Bikers Gravel group. That make an common tour, once per month May's tour attracted 13 senior persons (not only men). We spent a day on easy gravel roads. We enjoyed the riding, th...

Travelling: Old words from Ed March
I am sitting here after my dream trip.
Old. With bad knees.
Remembering and dreaming.
And then I found this:
Amazing.

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
If I could get the old one at a good price, that would be my choice. They prices has not dropped here on the old ones. But it might happen if they have "leftovers" when the new model takes the market. 2021 was a real improvement in the old Himalayan. The initial problems were sorted. The 2...

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
It looks professional, The panniers open the top as it looks ? Great. I do not like when they open the side and everything fall out. (I had that on the Kawasaki. OK Inner bag and strips. But so much easier to load from the top.) And it looks as if you have perfect fit, so that they can open without ...
