Excellent - years ago I did pretty much the same as you - stayed in the same places and rode the same roads...

Fantastic is all I can say


I can't remember, am I the evil twin or the nice one?

Off to the Picos d'europas in may next year and plan to ride down over the pyrenees. After watching the tour de france on telly this year, the mountains look awesome. I am on a VFR at the moment and was wondering how you got on with those blades. Being 6'1 and 15st, I am not sure about doing swichbacks and 2000 miles on one, but am looking to change, they do look good in the pics. Did Baden Baden this year before the world cup and had an awesome time in the black forest, but really looking forward to the next trip.
Keep the hammer down.
