between Avila and Salamanca
There
users who use the bike in summer, there are those who use it more or less throughout the year but only on weekends to make some curves or the relative path and must use the bike for the day day. And there are some motorists that unite all these particulars, as in my case. I use the bike to go to work (while I have work) every day of the year (sorry, I work, of course), to run errands around town, to move anywhere, and post-course to go for a ride my girl and make our good trip.

How To Make Rc Car Headlights
And of course, be without bike almost month and a half, is a small task. So when "Charo" left the workshop (impeccably restored by my mechanic, Paco, Haro Bikes) Almu we lacked time and my path to exit. Building on that Monday was his birthday and we both had the day off for that reason, I prepared a new route for both, at least in part.
The idea was to go to Avila, to make a mini stop in the city, and from Barco de Avila, Tremedal up the port to approach Béjar and Candelario visit and the controversy Covatilla station.
Day in Madrid appeared somewhat cloudy, after heavy rain on Sunday afternoon, but as the forecast was cloudy but no rain, off we went. The temperature was ideal and traffic on the M-40 to exit the road to San M. de Valdeiglesias fluid. The story of the morning staged a group of motorists who approached us, overtaking cars in a continuous line, just before the descent to the valley after spending Navas del Rey. In fact the first bike, a Honda Deauville, Filipino was fine, we was going to sack us ahead at the first opportunity he saw, and when I saw that the others followed in its wake, we are open to the right and we move on to other . What Almudena said motorists can not put on this blog for what you can read his mother and scolded for swearing, but hey, put them fine, not chamomile.
But the answer to such behavior by a group of motorcyclists, we arrived quickly, as the fourth or fifth bike (all were Deauville or Vstrom 650) was one of the National Police. And after a while, we reached another grupete similar. I imagine it will be a junior national police group on topics of motorcycle and van with several monitors for driving hardened. I do not understand very well that they do with normal traffic and bikes camouflaged, but doctors have the church. By the way, I must point out that he was first, with a brown Deauville was fine and like a shot, three Suzukis are following him saw them and wanted to keep a distance ... and the floor still moist environment.
We found them as we climbed back after refuel, the N-403 and greeted us profusely, it is also true that were much calmer and the monitor kept prietas rows, heh, heh. We
Avila wanting to make a stop for coffee because the ascent to the moorland we had put some fresh in the body. We stopped the bike in the town hall square and walk a little to close to the cathedral to find a cute bar run by a friendly (and educadísima) woman that serves two greasy spoon and a piece of cake peaches (yes, it sounds like ) delicious. The cafeteria called "The Fortress" and Calle Reyes Católicos. I know because in 2004 ETA bomb attack in Avila and was just at this location. I took a photo of a local wall where they hung some pictures of how it turned out the place and makes the hair stand on end.
Paradita After, we return route via the N-110 road to El Barco, and stop looking site repast. In the end, reaching Piedrahita, we found a bar that has no bad looking and has a menu. That's right, no more, but not bad for money: 9 lereles. No detail because he does not deserve the truth.
But the evening is clear, the sky is already lighter than clouds and the temperature remains perfect for riding a bike, we then south. Past El Barco de Avila, goes right across the road Tremedal port, we dropped (alligator, lizard) in the Av-100, just before becoming SA-100 and approach Béjar.
The port is very nice, we did not find any car all the way, and reaching the top you can see the snow on the left, to the Covatilla.
The decline of the port is long but the views are spectacular.
We reached the road, which soon changes its name from Avila to Salamanca, and we went to see the station Covatilla. No wonder the stations ski, rather it would otherwise, but because some stage of the Tour of Spain ended in the season, and my mother that little rise. In the bike almost no time to get second from the first kilometers, because the curves have some rolling hills to get scared. I do not know the slopes, but even if I do not think they are level with the Angliru or lakes in the Picos de Europa, of course is "majete" the "Jodi."
Two photos and down, you want to visit Candelario. I will not be extended to describe the people because it is not plan, you have to go! Period.
And if you go ahead and mount you like, gives me around the people must be cool to go. When all is said and done, we are in a natural park. ;-)
Around, without much story outline, but for us. From the boat, take the road which goes on sale Rasquilla and from the sale of the Bishop to El Barraco, we puffed a curved, spring landscape, granite and good temperature, a joy.
stop for pictures, which modestly, have been very cool on the models, the mechanics and the human (especially bellezón of Almu) and light. And back home in the end will arrive tomorrow night and one of them gets up, heh, heh. Indeed, not me.
a day and enjoyed company, the better.
