Picos de Europa with Andy
« on: June 29, 2023, 20:32:52 »
Following on from the post in the Pictures section I have now edited some videos of our trip to the Picos de Europa.
There are 2 videos of some mountain roads / farm tracks, one of which we used as a warm up for the Sotres Trail.
The other 2 are all the other regular roads we went on. Part 1 is the ride from our base in Potes to the lake at Riano, taking the long scenic way. Part 2 is the best of the rest.
The trip was planned by Andy, and he delivered. If you like twisty roads and amazing scenery then this is for you.

That looks outstanding chaps, god bless Big Twin engine braking on some of those descents, saves a fortune on rear pads :)

The whole trip was epic and it was my pleasure to plan it. The Hotel was fab too. Potes is a great place to stay.  I actually fancy going back and doing it again.  :text-goodpost:

Lincolnshire Biker. I enjoy touring and exploring. I love motorcycle camping.
