smilinjack 0 Posted November 9, 2012 If I can spring the dollar I'll be riding my newly MoT'd ZZR1200 to my apartment in Spain and collecting my VFR to ride back to get the MoT done. Don't know about route-I did the N-260 Pyrenees route from Santander & flew back in July, was wondering about same outwards then up through France return leg via the Route Napoleon. Depends on available holiday & money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smilinjack 0 Posted November 9, 2012 Done Millau 2/3 times. It's not far from there to the Cevennes National Park-some decent roads to be had there. But Italy is fabulous. We did the Dolomites in 2007 although not the Stelvio. I think it was the best bike trip ever until I did the N-260 this summer. That's highly recommended. PS if you're going south of France it's worth doing the extra & going over the pass near Portbou into Spain. There's a great stretch where you look up to the mountain top & down about 700ft to the Med. Make for the Cap de Creus, have lunch in Cadaques. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
