Would anyone like to do a riding tour of Spain for a week or so on their S1000 after the middle or towards the end of May 2020? I'm not anyone's tour guide, nor am I a control-freak or considered weird. I'm in my late 50's in my body but still 25 years old in my head!
I've ridden through Spain and Portugal several times before - Pyrenees, Picos, northern Portugal, Catalunya etc. I have really enjoyed the cameraderie of riding with like-minded people who enjoy riding fast and safe. Say 200-250 miles per day on their equivalent fast B roads and deserted A roads. Aim for a town for around 6 pm, drinking and taking the piss & staying in cheapish hotels - rock up in a town, seeing what accommodation is available and grabbing some rooms. Ride, drink, eat, party/sleep - Repeat the next day in another town somewhere else further up the road, but always ready to go on the bikes for 9 am. Alternatively get an AirBnb in a convenient town and ride out in different directions every day.
I was thinking of taking the ferry first to northern Spain (Santander/Bilbao) and either taking a similar ferry home or blasting home via France depending upon the ferry crossing dates etc.
I haven't built an itinerary yet and am open to ideas, but if anyone out there has ever wanted to tour a bit of Spain when the weather is warm and dry and ride great roads and have some fun, drop me a PM and perhaps we can have a chat?
