Hey guys! So after vaguely discussing the matter of France with Alex, be both agreed we weren’t too interested in the big expensive country that stood in the way of our objectives. Mostly because the fuel is so expensive (by comparison to Spain and Andorra) and the motorways you have to pay to use, and [...]
After yet another very long hard day, and over 200 photos to go through. There’s no chance I’m going to sit here fiddling around to tell you all that happened and what we got up to. However, what I will tell you is that we had great fun and all was good except poor Andy [...]
After a very very long day off-road in the heat the four of us have very little energy for anything. However, we did have a really good meal (4 courses!!) at a restaurant at lunch time for 12 euros. Excuse the photos we only got our cameras out while we were on the roads it [...]
So Noel, Andy, Alex and I met up for the presentation of the Mountain Madness event. A little disillusioned by the whole thing, we took it very un-seriously and didn’t look at the map for too long before itching to go off road and try some trails. At about the same point Alex, decided he [...]
Hey hey! Since my last post I received a text from Noel (one of my team members of the Mountain Madness) saying he was in the area. We met up in Andorra de Vella, where i tried to discover why my headlight and tail light were not working and Alex meanwhile sorted out the food [...]
Hi there! Isn’t amazing how you find internet everywhere? Anyhow, I was sad to leave my very kind host Bea yesterday, but I was soon distracted with riding with Alex behind . We came to Andorra in an über slow manner. We set off at about 3:10 and arrived about 8:30 (don’t ask!). After changing [...]
I felt obligated to see some Gaudí things before I left, even though my Barcelona experience was already good without doing the sight-seeing. Firstly Bea and I went to the Parc de Guell and then to La Sagrada Familia. To be honest, if I ever want to feel like a tourist I’ll catch an open [...]
After faffing around yesterday doing this and that, and buying myself a new main jet for my carburettor, Bea and I took a ride upto Montserrat to enjoy the bendies. Now, I’m glad my face was full face, because my facial expression was similar to the day I rode into spain through the Pyrenees and [...]
So I took the plunge and rooooode 500+ km to Barcelona in one hit. I set off at dawn and made better progress than I had thought. The day started off pretty chilly and I was happy riding with my jacket and gloves on, obviously being early accounted for this. I circled the ring road [...]
I had Spanish picnic yesterday with some of my friends from years back. They all have kids except one. I ate so much that I felt ill…. (17 hours without eating still feeling rough) not to be repeated.
