So am I
Bilbao to the Picos for 4 days from Thursday then over to Pyrenees for 3 days.
Enjoy !!
I'll be further west.
Where ?
We're ... heading in to Portugal to ride the Ride mag loop around Chaves.
Make sure you stay in the hotel in the fort (Sao Francisco) in Chaves - and for the ride in, I would strongly recommend going from Puebla de Sanabria to Bragança (ZA925) to pick up the N103 to Chaves: when we were doing the research ride to put those routes together, Weeble (the GS-owning photographer) called the 925 "possibly the best road I've ever ridden". But then we got into the rest of Portugal and had to recalibrate that kind of comment as so much of the riding is that good! Even so, that road still stands out as utterly brilliant...
Enjoy the ride!

If you're on the Sunday service from Plymouth, we'll be on the same boat! And yes, I love the roads the further west you go in Asturias and into Galicia as well – I always think it's a pity so many people seem to get to Potes and go no further, bar a few loops around there. It is great, but there's so much more to be ridden!
ETA: I haven't ridden the AS13/AS11 combo you've highlighted - looks good. Going via Sanabria makes it quite a long day but does have the potential to one of the best rides imaginable - loads of my favourite roads (AS15, OU112 as well as the 925 and 103!) I'll file both of those for future use!

If I remember correctly, there's a fabulous little restaurant in the town too, run by two old grandmas. .

We're going back to Ovinaña in Asturias then riding locally/Picos plus a couple of nights heading in to Portugal to ride the Ride mag loop around Chaves.
