Have seen those decent weather reports before, then got thrown out of bed on the Bay of Biscay. Take em
Gentlemen, weather updates. My second youngest brother just went over the Picos on Tuesday. He said worst conditions he's ever ridden in and he's not one for exaggerating. Snow, rain, sleet and more snow. Said he thought he was going to freeze to death. I'd suggest you prepare to adapt your plans accordingly. The weather has been unseasonably terrible. However, this weekend the weather is supposed to be much improved. Keep an eye on it and be sure you have good gear. Temperature at sea level is very different to temperature at the top. Within a few days the temperature can rise a lot in Spain, hopefully it will. I've had to can the idea of coming to meet you I'm afraid due to Mother in laws funeral. Shame on both counts. However I am escaping to the Jerez MotoGP straight afterwards with Bazzer. Roll on!
Never really bothered me. Last time I went it was rough but I took a sleeping tab and snored through it. Best stuff to get is Scopederm. Prescription only so get it from the Doc. You stick the tiny patch behind your ear and you're brand new for 24hrs. Brilliant stuff. No drowsyness but makes your mouth dry so you need lots of water. Highly recommended it.

Just packing now, did you lads remember your continental plugs for phone chargers/tooth brush etc? Bit late now to remind you I reckon so I'll stuff a few in.
Woke up an hour late this morning and had a mad 2 hr ride through thick fog to get here just in time for boarding. Now happily on our way - still foggy but that means the sea is "flat as a fart" as we used to say on the dive boat My bike at the ferry port. (Travelling light as normal. Just a top box.) Tim's bike before leaving his home yesterday.
Class!... Just taking a coffee with you! Can't wait to see a photo of Wayne's 'just travelling light' Looking forward to our 'virtual' trip with you guys, stay shiny side up.
