Back from your big trip now then Mav?

Just realised that this year was probably the last year that my girls will do a long trip as pillions.
They're hoping to have their own bikes next year, but as they will only be 125cc machines we'll not be doing a big run. We'll probably just do days out with some camping here in Wales. Once they've turned 19 they can go for their A2 licenses, which means they can have bikes big enough to cope with longer trips.
They've both been talking for the last two years about riding down to the Pyrenees. Sounds good to me!

Yep, back last night from the Pyrenees. Only one HP

This is becoming one of my favourite roads, despite the gradients

There is also the route de napolean, through the Alps. Worth checking out.
