Not Doc not in Cologne

Looks like a fabulous trip Martin, thanks for the write up, I enjoyed reading it.

Would never have thought of a short biking break there, but maybe it’s on the list now.

👍👍👍

So we replanned back via Mogan to Altea on the awesome GC200 then the 210 back to Artenera.

He said one red line means road works and two means it’s shut .

There were no roadworks, just new tarmac for the entire route.

First an ice-cream

Then the GC200 shown in green.

Quite possibly the best stretch of road I’ve ever ridden . Race track smooth, little traffic and fast sweeping bends and some tight hairpins up over a mountain range .Done it a few times in both directions but blows my mind every time .
Like the Route Napoleon on acid. Simply sublime .

Then the 210 shown in green

This is like riding the balcony roads in the Vercors. On new tarmac, with some of the steepest tightest hairpins you will ever ride

I’ve said it before -if you’ve never been to Gran Canaria you really should . I’d rate it as the finest weeks riding you can ever do anywhere . Such variety and stunning scenery.

A world away from the naff resorts where all the Brits stay crowded on a beach .

Landmarkjohn may be in this piccy 😜

Meanwhile, had a WhatsApp from Canary Ride. The Stelvio is worse that thought and well fucked. They sent me these pics, but I’m not sure what is the issue, being a mechanical numpty

I thought it whined quite badly when I had it a couple of weeks ago. I put it down to it having had a bit of a hard life at 27k kms. I found it quite hard to make smooth gear changes although the quickshifter helped quite a lot,
