    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.

    They didn't. They attached water ski's to their bikes and just kept on going when they got to the beach. :eek:
