I have always wanted to ride my Dad old bike back to Spain, for the past few years I have sent it down on a lorry, and returned it the same way this time I`m ready to ride it.
I have some soft bags and the local bike shop has made me a small frame to keep them from harms way.
I leave next Friday next the 19th April about 3pm for a 5.30pm ferry to Spain, I`m doing the first 50 miles in the van down to the port as I don`t want to miss a booked ferry.
And If I brake down I want to do it in Spain not on the M27 to Portsmouth.
I land in Santander on Saturday evening hope to do 50 miles then Sunday I want to do 100 - 150 that`s how much fuel I have 15 lts, 5 in the can and 10 in the tank.
Booked a hotel in Mjias just North Of Malaga for Friday night so I hope to stay there 3 nights and fly back MONDAY 29th to Gatwick.
RAC Card should get me down there if I get into a real over heat, but a steady 35-40 I should be fine.
Taking my notebook so should be able to keep this going, the bike is not going to be the easyist thing to ride but a pleasure to see folks faces when I turn up at Spanish petrol Station.
