I was reading an old thread by messers Tetley, Mikeyboy, Tuftywhite and Magnon about a trail riding trip they did around northern Spain. It looked great and having done some riding there myself I know it’s an incredible area for trail riding. Is anyone up for doing a similar trip in Northern Spain? Would be great if we could get a small group together and do an airhead trip, there are some cracking bikes that people have built on here that could be put to good use.

Just put the thought out there…………..🫣
 
I would be up for that ….. just need someone to lend me their little used airhead special 🫣
 
Sounds good… hope my st/gs bitsa would be okay

Literally any time for me now I’ve hung my boots up, happy to fit in with other folks😁
 
I’d be interested if early spring next year. Fully booked up until then. When you say northern Spain are you thinking east or west of Santander?

Good question Chas, I’ve done bits from Burgos out east to Andorra before, but there are lots of TET trails out in that area as well that we could pick up on either to the east or west. Do you have a preference?

I don’t really have a preference and I’d not thought about the TET stuff which could be interesting. The only trail riding I’ve done in Spain was around Puigcerda and Ripoll fairly near Andorra. I think the Mikeyboy/Tetley trip was mostly around the Bardenas Réales and Jaca. And then there’s the Picos.

We did the Spanish Pyrenees TET to Tremp. Spent a few days there and then came back, mostly off road on the way back too.
 
Nice bike for sale here too at sensible money if someone needs a bike for the trip (nothing to do with me)

I could be up for this on my R100GS.
I've done many rides in Pyrenees including two this year with Austin Vince.

Also my house is a convenient stop-ovef enroute to Pyrenees. Four spare double/ twin rooms available and fully equiped worksop
 
At the mo I’m watching from a safe distance…really interested but…I can’t commit to this until there re some firm dates.
