Posted: 03:52 - 11 Dec 2016 Post subject: RiDE Tour of Spain... |
|
|
Has anyone used this as a basis for a trip around Spain? Looking to go right at the end of April/Early August and I feel that a more general trip round spain may be the safer option weather wise than sticking to the pyrenees/picos. Usually I like to plot my routes myself, but with RiDE magazine having a 13 day tour already plotted, this certainly seems at the very least like a good basis to start from. Does anyone have any experience of it?

I believe there is going to be 4 of us, aiming to get the ferry overnight and will probably find a B&B in Santander upon arrival then head out from there. Any particular recommendations?
One thing we would like to do this time is for at least a couple of days of the trip base ourselves in one location and use that as a base to get a days ride in so we can ditch the luggage for a bit. I'd imagine somewhere in the picos or the pyrenees would be a good place for this?
Any experience/advice with regards to dos and donts, roads etc in spain would be much appreciated!
Cheers!

A group of us went at Easter, rode down through France to Barcelona via Pamplona. Thread is here https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=311640
Top tips - don't get caught speeding, it caused massive issues for one of us and finding a base for a few days is a great idea. ____________________ stinkwheel: He had an animated .gif of a cat performing fellatio.
