Wot a trip so far Thanks
I assume you have internet access so try this web site 53 Motorcycle Rides in Midi-Pyrenees , France Some good looking routes you just need to link them up - good luck and stay safe. Steve
if you want a base I can try and get you cheap digs in Les Cabannes and at a Gite and give you loads of routes from there www.mairie-lescabannes09.fr call 0561649540 Small town but safe, great bar in the town square, cash point, small supermarket will send you PM but having a base is great and the Gites are top rate - how many of you are there?
Location of Les Cabannes Les Cabannes, France - Google Maps Other option is to stay in Andorra - you MUST do the N260 to Sort and onto Veihla
If poss try to take in the Palais des Rois de Majorque in Perpignan. Outstanding castle/palace type thing. Just about my favourite. And the walled town/castle of Carcassone. You're in Cathar country! French Catalunya. I love that area. -sigh-
Thank you guys, weather been 36+ t'day, couldn't get gloves on! Glad to experience some wind in Narbonne. Excuse me! It's just me and the missus, both on Blades. Andorra sounds tempting, les cabannes look good. Spoilt for choice. Just had 7 day old shave and soaking up the cotes du rhone. Loving every minute. Please keep the advice coming. Got the wife nosing the map! Thank you
Les Cabannes just small place but you will find accom I am sure via tourist office there. There is the huge solar furnace near font Romeo to visit. The road to ripol from bourg Madame is epic. Quillan to lavlanette superb God I run a tour off the top of my head in that area.
Head down the A9 to Perpignan then pick up the N116 through Prades to Puigcerda then the N260 to La Seu D'Urgellet, Ribera, Vilamur and Sort then keep on N260 to Sort, Pujol, Comca de Dalt and keep on on the N260. If you want to stay in Spain head toward Pamplona then up to St Jean de Luz / Bayonne / Biarritz in France. As a guide I did St Jean de Luz to Carcasonne following the N260 across the Pyrenees in a days ride, have a great ride dude
Andorra main place a bit of a ball ache. Ax les thermes another good town, more going on. If you get to les Cabannes you will see a montage of our trips on the fireplace!
The hot springs down that way are mustard for the muscles when fatigued. Cannot wait to hear about your hols, Uk. -sigh-
MOTARDS on Vimeo Enjoy! This gang are a bit south of you, near Barcelona. Think they understand English. Maybe email them? The roads they ride aren't too shabby... -sigh-
Keep on the n240 n260 sorry not for spelling right but jaca san de urgell we just set sat nav to avoid motorways biescas fiscal are just out top of my head you can't go wrong really have a good one and safe one
You certainly came to the right place for advice. Sorry but I'm also taking notes m Look forward to the write up on your return
The N260 is probably the best most vaied road in the world. Do as much of it as you can. I'll be along there myself on Wednesday. Avoid Andorra, it's a busy, shitty wase of time.
Hi guys, quick hello at mcburger stop, we're camped on a rest day today at lovely little site in Arthez Le Bearn. Rode through Pyrenees yesterday, just awesome, sorry cannot remember road names without checking the map back at the tent. Mad not to come over here if you ride a bike, blades just glide at pace, simply brilliant. Little low on fuel last night but nice Madame in pizza van came to the rescue. Weather a bit hot for me for riding but once you get your gloves on and hit the roads / views its all a pleasure. Jenna had little mishap on a kerb in a car park smorning, slight cosmetics only thankfully and no injury just massive lump of gutted! Pamplona tomorrow, waiting for navfree Spain to download to guide us through our next choice. A week of doing what we love to go before we hit Le Mans 24hr on way home. Getting used to riding one handed as 1,000's of bikers and everyone waves!! 1700 miles so far, petrol £1.60 and a Lt of oil burnt. Needs lots of overtime to pay back Mr Barclays but who cares when you're having this much fun. Thank you for all the advise, nice to read also. Favour will be returned by pictures and stories! Aurevoir forum! Enjoy the Moto GP!
Hi.great ride down to Pamplona today via D933 & N135 just to pop our nose in Spain. Stunning, very misty at the top. Sooo tempted to head east and ride N260 but think the missus may struggle and our plan was to head back up west coast. Spoilt for choice. All fab Bought a lotto ticket for the Euro t'day, wouldn't have to go home then.... If only. Hope all well back home Gona get the missus drunk now and try my powers of persuasion, being pissed always helps! Cheers
