I was a portimao a couple of weeks back and it rained 70% of the time
Nice pic, most jealous - I couldn't wheelie a unicycle!You chose the wrong Portimaõ trip. It's always a lottery there but the No Limits one a few days earlier / later than your (Redline?) one was blisteringly scorchio.
Could use a moist one myself - I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel on my part worn slicks but my current wets are nearly new. Will book either Assen or Spa next year that should do it!

Managed one last ride on the CRF250L before Winter kicks in. Although I was surprised by snow this morning, so that nearly put me off! My main thought was, can I get the bike onto the trailer without falling over...
I drove out to Ganaraska Forest, which is 11,000 acres of bloody amazing trails. Everything from wide fire roads, to fast dual track, to tight and technical single track through the forest. I have some trails near my house but this place is really worth the drive! The CRF does really well here, just the right amount of power, especially for my skill level.
Two things worth mentioning. I installed some tie down strap rings to both the bike forks and the trailer, best few quid I've ever spent! They are rated to 2,000lbs so are pretty strong, and now my tie downs don't bounce loose. Also got a Kriega tail pack, which comes in very handy for wallet, phone, keys etc. I also managed to fit a rain jacket in there. Now I don't have to wear a backpack, which is good.
Fantastic that you have access to these sort of areas to just go and ride your bike. I guess its the beauty of living in such a vast country. In the UK, there are very few places where you can do this, and almost all of them you are restricted to very few trails.

Thanks George but it ain't no elbow down shot though.Andy XRV said:
That is a great pic!
What with the Megello trip being rained off too you don't seem to have a lot of luck with the weather on European track days
I've had less rain in the UK than Euro's Andy, so much so I have no plans to do another Euro trip.What with the Megello trip being rained off too you don't seem to have a lot of luck with the weather on European track days

Yeah definitely the wrong trip. You will get to use your wets at Spa.You chose the wrong Portimaõ trip. It's always a lottery there but the No Limits one a few days earlier / later than your (Redline?) one was blisteringly scorchio.

Yesterday was cold but the clocks going back mean it was nice at quite at 7am on the trails! Didn't see another human off road on my 150km loop. Just south of Basingstoke.
I really need to get my Katoom MOT ready and sorted so I can do similar
