How does your planned route look like ?
Passing Combe Laval (again) ?
It will be rather long days.
Camping or hotels ?
It think that it will be perfect season.
End of May, The summer starts to arrive.
But still low season for tourist.
Good prices and not crowded

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
I do not care about the spelling. " I ride down to Bardoneccia for a couple of days on the trails" Did not sound like a such a long trip. "A couple of days" So I thought that might be something completely different How long time do you plan for the complete trip ? How many kms/mi...

One bike had a front fork bag/frame on it (I don't think it was a GS) that looked good. A bit like those fork leg bags that cyclists use .
The tent on the front fork.
And a bag attached to the sissy bar

Re: Plans for North West Spain

Re: Plans for North West Spain

I'd say check out the town of Llanes to the north and the bigger town of Gijon also to the north, which are both on the coast but surprisingly close to the Picos Mountains, if you want a couple of...

Old men in Algarve on gravel
What started 3 years ago with some test rides on gravel roads has now grown to a formal activity. With an Algarve Senior Bikers Gravel group. That make an common tour, once per month May's tour attracted 13 senior persons (not only men). We spent a day on easy gravel roads. We enjoyed the riding, th...
