Picos De Europa N261 towards Potes. My most favourite road yet.
Just a taste of what to expect if you are going. Relatively traffic free, well surfaced and flowy as you like. No need to go mad as the Armco will always win. Beware of cattle (usually a hint or two on the road as to where they are).

    Maybe use local restaurants, rather than munching on biscuits - in France between 12:00 and 14:00, a bit later in Spain. Set meals provide excellent valve. Note that it's a legal requirement to wear gloves in France - I sometimes ride without, but just be aware. Good attitude. Don't make hotel bookings in advance because it enables flexibility.

    Nice wheels bud. I spent a fortune getting a carbon Orbea. For what I spent on that, I coulda totally replaced everything on my Specialized that needing doing for less than half the cost. I never really rode that carbon bike, felt too rigid even if it was light as a feather. That's good going with three rides of that size in that time. I could only ever take hills slow and steady, and having ridden a 25% hill I know how it makes ya feel. I thought my lungs were gonna jump out my chest. That was great watching that, brought back many memories of when I was as daft as you doing this kinda stuff. Brilliant stuff, stay safe mukka

    You probably won't believe what I'm gonna tell you now. To look at me now at 23 stone and a lazy bustard, hard to believe that my highest mileage for cycling in a day is 118 miles on a training ride. That was cos we got lost and took a wrong turn. In 2013, at 17 stone in weight, we decided to do a charity cycle ride from John O'Groats to Lands End. Well, I did it !!! Rode every hill it threw at me and enjoyed every minute of it. I used to get to 60 miles and felt I'd just warmed up. I'm a weirdo like that. Hills killed me but on the flat I was like a BP supertanker and took some stopping.😁😁 There's a video on my channel of it. Get y'self a handlebar bag and a pack of fig rolls, keeps ya energy levels up and you can eat on the go. I ate 2 packs a day on that trip and we did 80-90 mile days for 12 days on the trot. I just shit like a goodun. Great vid, apart from the punctures, I bet that felt great.👏👏👏👏👏👏
