Today as I was riding along the N260 with its ultra smooth tarmac and corners that are perfectly spaced to allow you to maintain a cornering rhythm mile after mile I couldn’t help but reflect on how lucky I am to be here and enjoying such a beautiful place in the world on a motorcycle.…
Today was a scheduled rest day … so we went for a ride. IMTBike had planned a ride just in case we wanted to go for a spin. However after a chat to one of the locals here who suggested another road covering a couple of other Tour de France ascents we combined the two…
Like yesterday the Beilsa tunnel was going to be closed between 8:15am and 7pm so if we wanted to get back to France by the most direct route we had to be at the gates before 8:15. We got there at 8 and it was closed. That was really going to change our plans. However…
When I found out that the cruise finished one week before the Catalunyan MotoGP I took that as a sign that I was meant to stay in Spain for an extra week and watch the bike racing. So with a week to kill I found a great tour company called IMTBike who rent bikes and…
For some reason my prepaid SIM card didn’t like roaming so this is a fairly long post covering our whole cruise. From Barcelona we moved into our second phase of our trip, the Mediterranean cruise. Along the way we make a number of stops so that we can visit Naples, Pompeii, Rome, Pisa, Florence, Cannes,…
Planes, trains and automobiles. We have now completed that trio with a fast train trip to Madrid. Such a fast smooth comfortable way to travel just watching the scenery slide fast you at a rate of around 250km/h. Before I went on leave we were talking about the train and how it’s funny that we…
Sevilla (Seville) is only 100km from Jerez so it was only a short drive. The one thing I am not going to miss about driving here is getting lost on narrow cobbled streets and being directed down a series of streets that seem to just keep getting narrower with limited opportunities to stop to get…
After rescuing the car from the parking garage and loading our bags I couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous of getting lost on the cobbled streets of Granada and within a couple of hundred meters we were stopped by the Policia. Not because we had done anything wrong only that there was a running…
As the son of an orchardist I am always interested in orchards and today I was just gob-smacked! From Salobre we headed to Granada via Baeza and Jaen. I mentioned in my previous blog that Salobre was set in the mountains surrounded by olive groves. Well that continued all the way to Granada. That’s 270km…
From Valancia we head across to Granada. However rather than going around the coast we are heading inland. While Spain here is fairly sparsely populated I’m amazed at some of the townships that just pop up and often they are of a significant size. What I’m not sure on is what sustains these townships. I’m…
