Hi Simon,
Thanks for the tip. I was aware of the L-4011 but couldn’t fit it in in the time I had. I opted instead for the direct route to Sant Llorence via the L-401 which was fantastic. I’ll add the L-4011 to my list for next time. It looks like you could get really remote which I love.
If you’re in Tremp then you’ve hit the absolute motorcycling jackpot. Smack bang in the middle of the lot. And the X-Country Challenge (or X-Challenge?) in your pics doubles your fun as I see from your other stuff you have going on that you spend a lot of time off road now. I’m extremely jealous. I wish I’d known you were there, we could have done a little ride out. You could have saved me getting lost at the Mirador del Pirineu just north of Ager
. What a great place. And it's not just the roads, the countryside (as we call it) is beautiful. Maybe next time.
The N-260, although a back-bone, really is a great road and I shouldn’t undersell it. I think there was only 1 stretch that 1 would say was unenjoyable, the short run between Campo and Castejon de Sos. When I was there it was bumpy (they were fixing that), very busy and tight. After Castejon it was great again, particularly the section right after it up and over the Port de la Creu de Perves.
I’ve updated my list to include the following:
A-139 (Santaliestra to Bonansa)
HU-V-9601 (Campo to the A-1605)
N-230 ( N-260 to Embalse de Caserca just before the Vielha tunnel)
N-260 (El Pont de Suert to Senterada over the Port de la Creu de Perves)
N-260 (Sort to Adrall over the Puerto del Canto)
BV-4031 (Collada de Toses to La Pobla de Lillet via Castellar de n'Hug)
Can't believe I didn't put the N-260 from Urtx down to Ribes de Freser over the Collada de Toses but the truth is I kept getting wet and the surface was only a 4 out of 5
so my recollection was clouded in misery
. I'll include it now though. If they ever get round to re-surfacing that run (it's nowhere near as bad as this may read) it would would have to be the greatest sport riding road in Europe.
Feel free to add any other gems you know of.
Rgds
