As the title suggests where's been your most memorable bike jaunt ?. I got a ferry over to Santander in Spain with a bunch of mates, rode over the Pyrenees, some truly amazing views and great roads............ with that crazy orange ball thing we see occasionally in the sky. Into Andorra...... it rained, my god it rained. Into and across France, stopped for loads of cakes at patisseries (french cakes are stunning) and ended up at Ypres in Belgium, attended the last post played at the Menin gate. Got the ferry back to Hull, what an absolute scream, such a laugh with a great bunch of mates. The best 9 days I've spent on a bike................ whats yours.
make that ones, plural - possibly a weekend jolly with the Borders crew, definitely a Perthshire Easter break with the girls, and in my dreams - a summer trip to the continent ; ONLY need those few number to come up - it's not much to ask really.
Best biking holiday I ever had was the Isle of Arran and the Isle of Skye. Fantastic weather, great malt whiskies and the locals were ahem, most accommodating....
I like riding in Scotland, some belting roads and amazing views, I've always got soaked up there though.. Had four days last summer in Fort William., it rained every day.
Well my fave holiday was to Arizona and all around Nevada and Utah visiting Monument Valley and various other fab places, we did it in a car road trip so am planning on doing it on a bike one next year, dreading the sore butt tho' as we did 5000 miles last time
Solo trip many years ago, bought an island-hopping ticket and just wandered up the western isles, Barra, the Uists, Harris and Lewis, Skye, Mull...the weather held out, just went where I pleased. Main lesson learned was not to take a big tourer through soft sand!
Hi all, I'm currently going all round the uk coast, not done the euro side yet but looking forward to it one day, the next leg of my trip is devon an cornwall, great places
Loads of them but the first BM Scotland gig, The Prequel, has got to be up there with the best. Riding out of Durham, bike loaded for a weeks camping, with everyone else communting the other way to work. A brilliant feeling!
Always used to enjoy a good camping tour down the west coast of France. Then I discovered Germany. Bliss . Gotta be the cleanest country on the planet. Lovely campsites, big beer glasses. Really lovely people the Germans. It's a shame Adolf got too big for his boots and tried to take out Uncle Joe. I think our roads would have been better maintained under Adolf. Although I think I would miss all of our multicultural citizens. I mean, white is alright but a bit of colour is better. Not as bland.
Germany is a stunning country, couldn't agree more with all in the above post. The roads surrounding the Nurburgring are better than the ring itself. I'd really like to do the B500 Baden Baden Road. I also rode over the Pyrenees from Santander, some stunning roads and scenery.
