Another adventure gets planned, well sort of

Here we go again, middle aged blokes on big bikes setting off on another poorly planned adventure and the now customary blog. The Iast blog "the Italian Jobbie" saw double reader figures On some days. Despite the tempting film and book rights offers we have received from the long way round team we have decided to keep it real again and just ride for ourselves.

This time the mission is Aragon for the Spanish round of of the world super bikes. Williams will be riding his dependable tractor engined R1200rt in flat cap and slippers with an open faced helmet to allow for pipe access. Richard (I will not accept my age) Edwards will be on his ballistic K1200s. Of course it has to make it to the starting line first. Let's just say that it's not the most reliable piece of kit in the world but fortunately Williams has a dependable Honda C90 he can lend him which is probably more suited to the old man anyway.




The proposed route, the only thing for certain is we will not follow this

The plan is to set out on good Friday which we are going to rename great Friday (sorry to all the bible bashers this may offend but bikes are our religion). We get the ferry at silly o'clock from Newhaven to Dieppe and then ride down through France as quickly as we can before nipping into Spain for a bit of a bimble around with some bike racing at Aragon on Saturday and Sunday. Finally, due to not wanting to ride through France again we will get the ferry from Santander to Portsmouth arriving home 12 days later hopefully with Edwards bike still running.

Roll on Great Friday
