XTreme Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Rain was forecast for later today.....so instead of getting out early to avoid the heat, it's getting out early to avoid the rain!http://www.webspain.net/orc/faz108.jpgWent through Orce.....http://www.webspain.net/orc/orc2.jpghttp://www.webspain.net/orc/orc1.jpg....then onto some nice open roads....http://www.webspain.net/orc/faz109.jpghttp://www.webspain.net/orc/faz110.jpgRecently fitted handlebar risers and Grip Puppies.....both make a hell of a difference to general comfort!http://www.webspain.net/orc/faz111.jpgPlenty of wide open spaces......http://www.webspain.net/orc/orc3.jpgThen the roads get a bit rough...http://www.webspain.net/orc/faz112.jpgAnd you eventually end up in Galera!http://www.webspain.net/orc/orc4.jpghttp://www.webspain.net/orc/orc5.jpghttp://www.webspain.net/orc/faz113.jpgBit disappointed I didn't run into a nice young chica who's into riding as I did recently.....http://www.webspain.net/pics/uu.jpg....but you can't have everything. And her horse had a bad dose of the shits as well.....so it ain't perfect here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankbag Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Okay I'm jealous, reminds me of the mountain roads up Gran Canaria except we had a 1.2 twingo not a Fazer !Do you get over to Catalunya, Valencia or Jerez being as you're a local ? forgive my lack of geographical knowledge if some of these are miles, sorry kilometres away from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Do you get over to Catalunya, Valencia or Jerez being as you're a local ? forgive my lack of geographical knowledge if some of these are miles, sorry kilometres away from you Been here since 2005 and never been anywhere. The problem is my job (web developer/web host) so the the shop never closes.Having said that......Catalunya is 660kms, Jerez is 510kms......so they're too far anyway. Valencia is around 320kms so if I ever went to a big circuit that would be the one. Edited September 19, 2013 by XTreme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I've been on the bike and also in the car with Susieque,we did get out and about a bit when we had the car,we went to Cartegena (excuse spelling).Tried to find the race track there but failed miserably! Used the N332 to go from Torrevieja to Benidorm and back once, Scary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
