Featured Andypandy & Thebiglad's Pyrenees Trip

No Andy. Not been there either. Also on my bucket list

 

Thanks for the info and your take on Jaca and the surrounding area along other Spanish cities as well. A motorcycle ride through Spain is very high on Mr. Sandi's and my bucket list. About 10 years ago I got to spend an entire week in Barcelona (on foot and public transit). I absolutely loved it and have very fond memories of that city and that trip. I definitely experienced what you described. The city was very vibrant. People were out late and were enjoying one another's company over wine. Everyone I interacted with was helpful and friendly and, as you said, the Spaniards--in Barcelona at least--seemed quite happy. Plus I really enjoyed the delicious food and wine there, too.

From your description of France, however, we probably don't need to lengthen our bucket list by adding a trip there.

 

I first rode in the Picos about 20years ago and have ridden them about 6/7 times since albeit not for about 4years.

Got to agree with your post the Picos roads are crap, the weather is horrible, the food and drink just isn’t nice and the people are nasty and aggressive. It’s not the place for anyone to visit

So the less people that go the better it is as I’m thinking of going back there next year

What ever you do don’t look on YouTube the videos are rubbish

 

Me and Andyc1 are doing both starting next week Picos then off to the MotoGP in Aragon then almost the whole of the N260 in the Pyrenees as well as some other great roads
we're meeting up with Smilinjack (Alan) after the qualifying on the saturday

 

Well ! it all went tits up. We arrived at Villneneuve sur Lot and the hotel was closed,it's 2 O'clock and it didn't open until 4.30,no problem,go and get something to eat. Except that we couldn't,everywhere seemed to stop serving at 2. We'd already decided that the hotel was a s**t hole,so onto Booking .com,we managed to book into an Ibis on the outskirts.By this time it was 4.30 and we were knackerd.
So,sorry Biglad and Andy,it just wasn't going to happen. Maybe next time,and there will be a next time
I'll put some photo's on when the Mrs puts them on the computer

 

Come on Andy even you’ll know that Trigger(the horse) doesn’t look like that

This is Trigger

 

Have a good time lads,,,,,I’m sure you will

 

Maybe Merychippus??

 

Hmmmm ...... no mention of Fishanchippus.
A terrible omission. SIGH!

 

That horse is definitely the precursor to a Harley Davidson - just look at all the crap and ornaments that’s decorating it!

 

Or maybe a Gold Wing? Although a Gold Wing probably weighs more than that horse.
