As some will know, it's kinda the norm now that a few members from 400greybike saddle up and head over to spain for a week.
The plan sort of goes something like this
Boat from plymouth / portsmouth to santander in mid may
arrive in santander in northern spain around lunch time and tackle around 3 boring hours of riding to get out of the crap roads and into the fun zone.
so with hotels all the way, we have a couple of days playing around northern spains finest roads and dipping over into france, before heading back north avoiding as many motorways as possible back up towards Caen and heading home
Takes around a week to get home, will shag a new pair of tyres, will cost around £600 in hotels, fuel and food so if your bikes a shed, and your skint then maybe next year.

So any one up for this ? i will be doing 2 trips abroad this year i guess, but if we can get a small group for may then great.

Possibly, depends on funds. When do you need a definite answer?

It's not the timing mate it's the funds. Spain's just gonna cost too much whereas Germany is easily affordable which means I won't feel guilty about going. I'll check to see what dates are taken at work when I'm back in on Saturday. Also I wouldn't want to intrude on you two love birds ;)
