Overview

Following our hugely successful Italy 2018 FUZ-moto to Northern Italy, Switzerland, and France, we were excited to visit Europe again. I've read articles about riding in Spain, so that was on my bucket list. The guys at CIMT were helpful in recommending renting from their sister company IMTBike in Spain and Portugal. After months of day-dreaming about routes, Chris settled on picking up bikes in Barcelona, riding the Pyrénées and Northern Spain, visiting Jerry's niece in Logroño, then getting back to Barcelona to return the bikes and head home. The trip would take us into Spain, France, and the tiny country of Andorra. Within Spain we would see the historical kingdoms (autonomous communities sort of like states or provinces) of Catalonia, Aragon, Navarre, Basque Country, La Rioja, Castile and León, Cantabria, and well into Asturias.
