    Just left the Picos today after a brilliant few days riding on some of the best roads I've ever been on,:cool: 20190918_123406_resize_31.jpg

    Everything from fast sweepers to the twistiest roads you can imagine,and some really great scenery, the N621,N625 and the LE331 are just a few of cracking roads we've been on :cool:

    Wow! Those photos are scenes and roads are AMAZING. I think you could sell those photos to Triumph and KTM to use in their brochures, Dougie. It looks like the weather was spectacular as well. I think you should make some of those photos into posters. Totally stunning. Thanks for sharing!! :grinning:

    Great pictures Dougie.

    Yes the Picos is a fantastic place, but please don’t go telling everyone they’ll all want to go :)

    Where did you stop overnight.

    Enjoy the motogp mate :cool:

    The third picture down looks like the lake/reservoir at Riano Dougie.

    Did you ride the N621 from Potes to get there.
