No more work for a week or so and Oggs and I am off to Spain on the bikes. Woooohooo!
Ferry down to Bilbao will dispense with the boring miles then it's a case of hotel to hotel to Barcelona.
Can't wait. Only 12 hours until the ferry sets sail.
Can't say I'm not jealous. I just got back on two wheels and remembered that you can't beat that feeling of flying along above the tarmac, especially when you're off across europe to warmer climes. Ferry down to Bilbao will dispense with the boring miles then it's a case of hotel to hotel to Barcelona.

A neigbour just got back from Spain, water shortages everywhere, heatwave on the way, 50c temperatures expected.
Be careful out there, ride safe.

I'm off to the Bol D'or with seven mates next month, to say I'm getting excited is quite the understatement! 
Then spending the week after pottering about southern France.
We're riding all the way down there though, no softy ferries for us

I did the Bol D'or about five times in the eighties, back when it was held at the Paul Ricard circuit. Great fun. The French bikers are such a bunch of poseurs. Then spending the week after pottering about southern France.We're riding all the way down there though, no softy ferries for us
All the flash dayglo trendy (back then) paint jobs and trick leathers, but most of them rode like blouses.Dibble said:

Remember the run from Le Beausset to the circuit? I'd not long been riding the first time we went, and it was awesome! There were loads of nutters on 'Blades (they'd just been released then, so around '92-'93) screaming past on blind hairpins. The entire road was lined with straw bales, but it still didn't stop a few casualties. And it only got worse at the circuit.

Bol d'Or? Must be worth a thread of it's own...Gassing Station | Biker Banter | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
