Trans Portugal Trail ride on a couple of XT660R
 

Hello heres a link to our epic trip to portugal

We set off at 4am from Lancashire to drone down to the ferry at Portsmouth ...a steady 70mph and stopped past Birmingham for a quick cuppa and fuel
before we knew it we were on the alesbury bypass making cracking time ...i became aware of little particles hitting the bike ...next thing Chris had pulled in at a garage..and it became clear that his rear tyre had overheated de laminating and merrily spitting the block tread at all his friends

Been keeping up with your photos on Facebook and it looks like an epic trip

Im heading off from Dorset down to the algarve next month! (ferry to santander) Looks fantastic. Any particular bits you can reccomend not to miss. Did the trip couple of years ago but want a different route!

And that's exactly how I began my summer round Europe!
Spent two days trail riding in the Picos, two days going up and down near the Torre, and two days with more trails at Bikersbase!

Spain & Portugal, two of my favourites, closely pipped to the post by Croatia.
