Probably should of said shouldnt I? lol. The Catalonia one. The plan I think at the minute is to get the ferry to Bilbao and spending a week there. All I can think of doing is riding through the Pyrenees and a night in Salou but not got a clue about anything else.

If I had to take a guess, I'd say the Pyrenees is the way to go. Wink

Are you planning on traveling alone or can others link up with you? Razz

went the year before last, took the boat to santantar then straight down the motorways as two up with all the gear theres not much point in looking for good roads, will be doing the same again next year.

I went to the Catalan GP in 2008, did the trip solo on a ZX-7R. I went through France, specifically avoiding motorways. I'm glad I did that rather than getting the boat to Spain, although I can see the appeal of the Pyrenees.

You can read about my trip here .

Good luck with the trip, and let's see a ride report on it here. In fact, you have got the cogs in my brain turning, might see you down there Laughing

Have noticed that ferry prices are really high from Portsmouth to Bilbao. Is there alternative to this. Don't fancy riding all through France to get there but i have noticed this Motorail. Anyone had experience of using this?
