DangerRuss58 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I have started going out for a ride on Wednesdays, weather permitting of course! last Wednesday I couldn't go as the bike went in for its annual service on the Tuesday but was not ready to pick up till Friday, things do take their time here in Spain but I love the 100 euro bill. So I'm all ready for this Wednesday but! the guy who usually puts the rides together has hurt his back he usually sends me the route so I can put it into my sat nav. This week that didn't happen as one of the other crew put this ride together, so I had no idea where we were going except for the meeting point. I had two ideas one was to use the "record your trip" function on the sat nav and the other was to use the "Relive" app on my phone, I did both. After our first stop point for a drink my sat nav stopped no idea why? will look into that tomorrow but it didn't matter as I had the phone working at the same time, after around 180km we reached our lunch spot high up on a mountain next to a church of some description great views temperature in the high 20's. I got the phone out to find that the running app to record my route had actually flattened the phones battery and it had switched off. I will now have to go through my video footage and see if I can work out using the village names the route I took LOL. The point is had a great ride wherever it was and added another 300km to my total for the year which has already surpassed my total for the whole of 2020. All I can tell you is we were riding somewhere in the Valencia region of Spain in the Northern Costa Blanca area. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooN Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Nice pics. Are you not restricted the same as @XTreme then, or do you just have a much bigger area to play in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Great shots @DangerRuss58.......I think Russ has much further boundaries than I do. I'm just resigned to every weekend being like Groundhog Day and going round and round the same roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerRuss58 Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 HI guys just reading about the boundaries, we are not allowed to cross regional boundaries, luckily the Valencia region is made up of the Provinces of Castellion. Alicante and Valencia and that covers a huge area unlike some who live in much smaller provinces, I htink starting next month the restrictions are going to start to be reduced so fingers crossed it wont be too long and things might get back to some sort of normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
