EDC Pyrénées; Aragon/Navarre, Spain, 2018. Open invite for FREE on/off road guided tour.

Post by WIBO »

The EDC are planning a ride out come the Spring to ride the plethora of free trails in the regions as mentioned as above.

We'll be trying for about end of April or May times to start off with, as Julien from Mareseiille should be over visiting then. We have to take into account any typical and seasonal weather.


If anyone finds themselves in the region at the same time, by all means tag along.



There's a "possibility" that there'll be my Land Rover Defender for back up with a Sankey trailer along with tools/compressor etc to cover break downs etc.

Rather than just riding I thought if we had a bit of an objective of places to be and things to see. If we don't arrive to where's listed so beit.


There's two ideas so far....with the second well south.

Initially we'll can ride the first loop,with as much trail riding as possible,to visit Bassellla moto museum, This would find ourselves south of Andorra to ride and return via The Smugglers Trail.



Museum,which is excellent.

The second loop idea is to ride more south to visit the old film sets of the spaghetti westerns ( and other film sets) Again, as an objective, and to take its the Guns of Mazarron if possible, in Murcia.

There's also the Naval Museum in Cartagena,close by.

We'll throw in camping and cheap, clean, back street hotels as a second option depending where we end up en route.

As the majority of the trails are easy, hard pack going they will be suitable for most riders to tag along and enjoy the free trails that Spain has to offer.

If there's a lot of riders we'll simply ride off in small bunches twenty or so minutes apart to take the bad look off it.





A few will recognise this oldie....a 'Then and Now' of different scenes from a Few Dollars More.




















I'll update the invite with dates etc as it comes into my head......usually after a bottle of red.



:D
