This is precisely why I bought the TL1000S over to Spain to give me an alternative biking experience to the Himalayan. There are times when all common sense needs to be ignored and you need to go with your heart. However, it’s not always plain sailing ?, it’s currently having its fueling sorted, the water pump completely overhauled, the front brake fixed and that’s before I start to sort out the compression on the rear! ............but it’s fucking mental to ride ???

Does forcing my wife to clean my wheels count or is that just top delegation? ?

Enjoy mate! ??

Cheers mate, we are restricted to the municipality which is only 120 sq miles but it’s very varied.
-
They’re quite something, they’ve shrunk a bit over the years but still pretty impressive. We’ve had a great winter so far; mild, dry and sunny with very little rain. Sounds like you’ve had a shit one on the other hand!

Hardly a ride report but thought I’d better put these in here. Out running some errands today and stopped down the beach at Bolnuevo where the wind and salty air have created these sandstone sculptures. Until very recently you could walk up to the cliffs behind and dangle your legs over the edge. Bollox to that! ?

No salt needed on that mate ?

Only on the chips mate ?

‘Kin ‘ell, I only mentioned fried egg crisps ???????
-
Proper stinking but once you get past that they are lovely ?
-
If you’re looking for unusual crisps how about these........fried egg flavour from the local supermarket. Open the packet and dive straight in. ?

The Brits have always been troublemakers ?

I do like a Brazilian ?

Yes mate but it just goes to show how volatile the situation is.
-
We’re restricted to the Mazarron municipality from tomorrow once again as the numbers across the Murcia region are rising sharply even though locally it’s not bad (yet). Can’t complain as within the 123sq miles there’s beaches, mountains, twisty tarmac and a good network of trails.......yeehar! ???????

That’s true, mine stays at the back of the house under a cover and the car port. Mind you, the weather here allows it. ?

Just after I took the photo a couple of cyclists came the other way and the first one hit his leg and went straight over the edge. Good fucking effort. ?
-
Yeah but you’re bound to have things we don’t and for me that’s the beauty of it. Everywhere has something unique. ?

I didn’t check on the satnav but the highest point is something like 1,580 amsl but that’s the military early warning post and you’re not allowed up there. However, I also went through a small village called El Berro and that’s 650m amsl; I’m guessing that the snowy bit was about 1,000m amsl. As for the coffee, I love it and it’s so much better than the instant shit that I was subjected to as a teenager in the UK. ??

Cheers mate, it was a good spin out. That building isn’t the abandoned one but another that has a hotel and restaurant in it now.

Took a gentle run up the mountains today to explore some of the small roads and tracks. Chilly at the top but always helps when the cafe is open! I’m a lucky boy as it’s 30 mins from my house and I’m also only 10 mins from the Mediterranean beaches. Tough life. ??
