Yay for you!
We went last year and it was a fantastic weekend. Make sure you go into Cheste on the Saturday night, it's a helluva party!

Enjoy the ride man,
I did London > Reims > Dijon > Lyon > Montpellier > Barcelona > Valencia, Got to Lyon on the first day of riding (France gets more interesting the further south you go). Montpellier the next day after spending the afternoon riding around the mountains/park twisties between Valence(fr) > Montpellier ish, Then hit Barcelona at noon ish and Valencia at sunset, Memorable Riding.
If you dont mind a detour, turn off before the french border and climb the mountains up to Andorra and then west towards Pamplona via the N240/N260 out to about Jaca, its worth it.

How long did that add. We have a tight schedual due to my being selfemployed and telling my contractors i will be back at a date specified. Quite strict but its worth the moneys
Just how long would it add. We are leaving on wednesday and would be there by friday. so would i be adding another day? |

Yes realistically. Riding hard i did Pamplona > Montpellier in a day over the Pyrenese. Maybe something to do on your way back from Valencia?.
If you can sqeueeze the extra time in it will really make the ride something to remember.

Getting closer now, So better start thinking what to pack.
Would i need a can of chain lube/wax? Its 2000 mile. 
Anything else. Tyre plugs for punctures, Gaffa Tape, Cable Ties. That sort of thing?
Any help apreciated.
Thanks

Of course. |
Check the condition of your chain fully before leaving, and don't leave with it on the 2nd to last notch of adjustment like I did last year  . I had to have the chain replaced in France.
You'll have an excellent time at the race, the Spaniards really get into the spirit of things for MotoGP. I went to Circuit de Catalunya and there were 130k crazy Spanish fans there, even better atmosphere than Donny .
