Up the Canal Paths!

[XTreme]

I hadn't done these for some time, but I wanted to check out the Tom Tom Rider Android app in different environments.

I found it better to use than Google Maps......but screen visibility is still difficult in bright sunlight. Standing it upright made no difference either.

The weather is still really weird here.....23C today and I got quite warm cos you don't get up to much speed on these canal paths.

The view out onto the main road to Castril!

I found some water.....

This is where the canal goes into a bridge ......not that there's any water in there of course.

And I reckon I could have BOTM in the bag with this one......if there's any justice.

But of course, there isn't any justice where I'm concerned.......so I'll just have to be content with making up the numbers!

It's a Man's Life on a modern CB500X!

Good stuff. 

I was looking up stuff on google maps a few days ago and somewhere in your area looked interesting: Calar de Santa Barbara. Seems there's a couple of kms of uphill dirt road to make it interesting.

Have you ever had a look at the TET route in your area, the off road sections vary in difficulty from easy gravel tracks to trials bike terrain might be sections of it that will interest to you

Portugal’s TET is harder than what I would want to do on my bike, I think. I’m more of a leasure touring on rough roads.
