    "On the lash"? That's a new phrase to me. Translation please! ;) Looking forward to more of your pics, biglad. :)

    On the lash means having one or two alcoholic drinks more than is recommended usually resulting in a headache and general unwellness the following day.
    Hope this helps

    What a day we had yesterday !
    Everybody I asked about the Pyrenees said the N260 was good.
    Good ? Biker's paradise more like, wide sweeping bends, hairpins, good surfaces, fantastic scenery, mountains, forests, rivers, all with blue skies and sunshine.

    Then to cap off the day we met another biker from France and went and had a few beers, tapas, and the odd steak.

    As Andy said just a fabulous day yesterday.

    "What sort of roads would sir like today?" -
    "Well says we, ideally, a mixture of high & low, hairpins & sweepers, good road surfaces" -
    "Naturally" -
    "topped off with beautiful sunshine and blue skies, if that is possible?"
    "'tis done sir, anything else?"
    "Well if it's not asking too much, could we have good company, top cuisine and excellent ale?"
    "Certainly sir, as you requested".

    Bloody good travel agents these lads !!!!

    PS "Mucky women ?"

    Seriously Nikki, that steak was sooooo good and that thick white sauce was made with almond which really surprised me but it went so well.
    The greens (asparagus) are hidden under the steak, just in case you thought it wasn't a healthy meal.

    Wow, spectacular! Breathtaking! I'm guessing today's ride goes down in the memory bank history books for you guys. What a beautiful place. So glad you got to ride this and also that you shared some photos with your forum buddies. Thanks!

    IMG_20190906_112351.jpg Rode from Jaca to Bayonne today, changing scenery from mountains to flat green pastures but still with peaks in the distance. Did just over 170 km today so we had time for quite a few stops.

    I have several 'Old Guys Rule' t-shirts, and, quite coincidentally, am wearing the same design as Andypandy at this very moment!:cool: Weird!!:eek:

    And tonight we went to the V & B Bar in Bayonne which has a shop with hundreds of beers and wines and also a great bar selection. There was a live band on and we had a great night.
