Winter Touring

[Lankryider]

The weather's taken a turn for the cold here in England. Does anyone have any plans for some winter tours? Normandy? Spain?

I'm looking for some inspiration - I don't want to ACF and leave it til April!

It's only 12℃ today in northern Spain, and the forecast is for temps to drop to 2-6℃ at night this week. It looks like being a long cold winter here.

Same here in France, only saw 5*c today and pissing it down

Northern and central Spain can often be as cold as the UK in winter due to the altitude, but once through to the south its much better, the ferry is cheaper too, food for thought though.......

I ride all year round anyway ....... but I have been thinking about a winter run for a few years now.

Maybe early February, a run down through France then follow the Med to southern Spain - Costa Tropical?
If not 2019 then 2020.
Good luck with your plans and don’t forget the ride report, I’m sure many people would be interested

Come on down to Southern Spain, in winter temperatures are mid teens with blue skies and fantastic roads with little traffic.
