Today was Ginge’s Birthday. Throughout the day he enjoyed at least 2 pieces of cake, so we’ve decided it’s going to be someones birthday everyday! That was we would definitely blag our way through Europe getting free cake whenever we stopped. We woke up to a dry day, the weather wasn’t great but it was […]
It was going to be a long day from Trier down into Switzerland. We were all up and having breakfast early, it was a good German style breakfast with a great selection. It would really set us up for the day. The ride started at 09.00am after we had loaded up bikes and checked out. […]
An early start, but I was awake and up before the alarm clock had gone off. In fact I was in the shower when the alarm clock went off, so I must have pissed off next door while it was going off to wake the dead. After getting sorted out I packed the little I’d […]
D -1 means our Departure date minus 1 day, the tour begins tomorrow. This is the day prior to departure and will be heading down to Folkestone to use the Channel Tunnel to go over to France first thing in the morning. Deeds had traveled down from Scotland the night before and stayed overnight in […]
We arrived in Plymouth on time even though we had set off an hour late from Santander, what a difference this crossing was compared to the first one. This was dead calm, like a mill pond in comparison but the crossing going over was enough to put anyone off using the ferry for good. How […]
The weather forecast had been great for today, clear skies and a warm and sunny ride north, we had a great route planned to take us further north into Portugal and then across to Leon in Spain followed by a run up to the Spanish north coast for a final push into Santander for the […]
We were up early and had a bike running time of 08.00am, we left a pretty chilly morning and cloudless sky in the Algarve. We wound our way back on some of the fastest sweeping roads we have ever seen as we made our way toward the Alentejo region. We took an early sign post […]
I woke up at 06.30am, I could not see much outside as it was still dark. That wasn’t a good sign as I expected it to be blue skies and right but being dark only meant clouds! It did look a little bit damp out there when I got up to have a look. Today […]
A lie in and then up for a leisurely breakfast, followed by bike cleaning and a good check over the bikes to ensure no problems have developed and gone unnoticed. Chains checked and lubed up and ready for the next few days. Andy had to check out his Krapasaki. An odd engine noise was to […]
Wow, an early rise to brilliant sunshine and clear blue skies, what a day we are going to have. We had breakfast, all met up bright and breezy and headed north towards the mountains. The road towards the Monchique is a fantastic route into the mountains, big long twisty roads, just waiting for acceleration as […]
