Most of it is tarmac Pedro so no big deal although they are very narrow and twisty so you have to be concentrating full on all the time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but he hasn't been out for a bit his missus is ill at the moment just had a tumor removed and has to have some chemo. The only reason he was out yesterday was because she was recovering from the op and he wasn't allowed to visit so rather than being stuck in he joined me 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
