Travel idea's

Post by Redmurty »

due to a longish standing family issue being resolved over the weekend and the Mrs getting back from New Zealand late September I am now free to look at doing a trip. Looking at late September early October for a couple of weeks.

Looking for roads and mileage being the main criteria and hopefully a little warm, so Spain Portugal comes to mind, so I'm looking for routes and suggested roads please guys or idea's of other places. Euro's burning a hole in my pocket and tyres need a scrubbing in so do I.......

cheers Spud ;)

Wills and the ladies (and possibly Simon?) are coming here for a few days trail riding and as the farm is located on the Spanish TET, it could give you a lot of entertainment for a few days as part of a longer trip?
Current bike is a Yamaha T7

Hi Spud

Spain and Portugal are the obvious choice and awesome too. I would be considering fly/hire to Greece too, it's lovely.

Cheers

And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

Yep Spain and Portugal are at the top of the list at the moment, new tyres and MOT on the Tiger going to chuck a new chain on and a quick service and meditate to the hum of the tyres on tarmac I think.

Looking for some not to be missed roads

cheers Spud ;)

I've still got it if you can't find it in the shops. I could post it to you if you want it.

Here’s my suggestions for Spain, I’m no expert but I’ve done these roads/areas a handful of times and they are simply fantastic 8-)

The Ronda Road - A397 from Puerto Banus up to Ronda.
The road to the east of Ronda A366, and down to Mijas.
The road from Puigcerda to sanbagiago, N260
The middle bit of Spain, south of Madrid across the plains
The Bardenas desert area near to Tudela
The coast road from San Sebastián west

Hope that helps. Others may be more specifics on the exact road names and towns but it’s a start 😎
