Doc does Spain with our lass

[Arsey]

You could just start with the loop around the park? N621 to Riano - check that the roadworks are finished. N625 to Cangas de Onis - AS114 to Panes - back to Potes on the 621. Look for the stag and the bear

That’s exactly the route I posted.
The roadworks are heading down the N621 to Potes and not between Potes and Riano.
The issue was the closure of the 621 due fire but it’s showing as open again today on Google Maps.

Thanks very much. I'm there on 8th September.

Wessie's route today. Weather is looking good.

And wondering if I might be able to get here before the road closures because of the fires.

You’ll be back by midday as it’s only 68 miles !

The fires must have been horrendous. They go on for miles and amazing some of the villages have survived.

That's an area that got off lightly. Fifteen fires still raging elsewhere ...

yes, the area south of Ponferrada has been burning for a long time. Some great roads there that are still closed e.g. road to Truchas over Puerto los Portillinos

Ride report.
Bend after bend after bloody bend. Changed gears a lot & braked a lot. Stunning scenery everywhere.
I was really pleased with my performance and no tears from Jayne on height issues.
Ride report over.
Beer o clock

Screenshot ta. I'll hunt it out

comes on draught in some places. A bit weak compared to the Maestra, only 6.5%, not 7.5%, but you can order half litres!
Estrella Galicia is quite common as the "normal lager" on tap. If you see the logo, they are likely to have the 1906 in bottles if not draught.

They don't have it here. Having to sample a third. Bloody thirsty work this holiday lark.
