Raise The Dust - Day 2: Start of the Trans-Pyrenees Tour

A wonderful sunny start!
Healthy breakfast with the sound of the sea in the background...

What more would you want?

Motorrädels!

Next task - Don our horses and ride across the Pyrenees!

Here's our planned overnight stays to give you an idea of the route.

From the Mediterranean to the Atlantic.

Up in the Les Gavarres hills...



Where some water crossings are not to be avoided!
Here's a little 'Sand & Water' video I made for you...
Enjoy

Shortly after we all enjoyed a well deserved lunch time stop.

Shortly after the hic-ups started...
Slippy mud = bent rear brake levers

But all went ok - just mechanical damage.
Then onto a coffee stop.

With wild Turkey's...

Not long thereafter we reached our destination:
Casa Mieres, Mieres.

A hot shower and off for something to eat at Dorlores

With filled bellies, it was time to retire and get a nights sleep.

The next day involved the Pyrenees to Andorra!

Raise The Dust - Day 1: Zurich to Spain, L'Escala

How did this start???

Well about a year ago - Joe, my good American friend gave me a link to a video of some guys on Triumph Scramblers that rode across the Pyrenees.

Here's that video:



Then a year later, Denis from Moto91 came to me and asked,
"Hey, Lee - you need to do this!
A tour with Scramblers across the Pyrenees!
I'm doing it - you should join me."

So that was it. That same tour in the video was now a guided event!

Three tour dates during the month of May.
We chose the last date hoping to have good weather...

Follow the next posts to see what happened:


Sunday morning - packed and ready! Waiting at Zürich's airport...
Drinking Beer - eating microwaved sandwiches and beef-turkey bites!



Finally - time to board.

Arrived and collected by Höllmutt from Triworx.

Our machines:
Triumph Scramblers
:-)

The bay at Playa de Montgó, L'Escala.

Time for a drink again - this time onto the wine....



And how did we feel...
