The Spanish Trip

Well, as you may have seen , I was laid off last month.

So, the great hunt for employment began again ....

After 2 weeks of scouring web sites, applying left right and centre...

Decided to pop over to my flat in Spain , and continue the internet search , in the sunshine .

I got off the ferry in Bilbao last monday morning.

860 km ride home , easy.

Then wednesday I had an appointment in Torrevieja .

So afterwards , I took a good rid around the Embalse de le Pedrera.

Stopped to do the usual selfies ...

Today I decided to do a ride, similar to what I'd ridden on my Super Motard in April .

160km ride up through Oriheula, to Hondon de los Freites .

Love it .

A bit of sunshine works wonders.

Good luck with the employment search.

Thursday out and about again.

I had a sort of rough route planned .

As it happened, I couldn't find the road I was looking for , but found a great one to ride .

Between Murcia and Balsicas .

This road through this valley was about 15 km ....

Corners . Lots of them !

Yesterday we rode a route roughly parallel to the coast towards Benidorm.

In the mountains , up and over so many, all seriously windy roads, absolutely great .

We ended up at the Castell de Guadalest Motoring Museum .

Over 200 miles , two up with no problems at all .

I really love this bike .

Good old N9 JOB ....

2000 miles since I got on the ferry last month .

Oh well ....

All good things end some times .

Back to the Muddy Island tomorrow .

But the BMW will be waiting for me at christmas time ....

Be back to carry on riding and enjoying the back roads soon .

Well , its back to a proper miserable UK again ...

Took myself out on the ex Al BM wobble yew today , seemed a nice sunny day .

So , I found myself at the Steel Horse Cafe between Abergavenny and Raglan for an all day brekkie , to warm myself up a bit .

5oC out there today ......

Just got back to Ross on Wye as the rain started ...

So, a good-ish day out .
