Sorry, I should have put that in with a prompt!!
I have added your helpful suggestion to the sticky in the Spanish section on bike hire.
Let us know if they match up to or exceed your expectations, please.

I would definitely be giving someone else's helmet a good wipe before using itAm curious about logistics of this. For folks who are flying out, does all the bike gear (for +45C to -5C riding) plus rest of the hol stuff go in a fleet of suitcases at great expense or are you 'wearing' it on the plane (think Michelin man)? In the dim n distant past I remember issues about the likes of RyanAir kicking off about taking your helmet on board (oo'er) as in "it-doesn't-fit-inside-the-Onboard-luggage-test-frame so leave it behind or buy it a seat". Not sure if I'd risk putting my helmet in a suitcase (oo'er x2). Seem to recall we ended up taking a givi top box as Hold lugguage and putting both helmets in that. Also go for a rental bike with racks and panniers. I guess decent m/c hire centres provide helmets tho given C19 variants I think i'd want to give it a good wipe round if it's still warm from the previous user
Any thoughts lads? thanks.
Checking the weather forecasts the week before you go will give you a better idea of what to wear.
The forecasts may not be 100% reliable, but they'll be better than asking people based in the UK about what the weather in Spain is going to be like in four months time.
