Month: March 2024

Our Plan

March 25 to July 15 – 11,000klms – 110 days all up, including 1 month in the Alps.

We’re supposed to be picking the bike up in Barcelona on Monday 25th of March, but a combination of the disruption in the Red Sea area and the shipping company leaving the container behind has meant that we’ll be lucky to see the bike by the 9th of April which means by-passing Sardinia from the map above which is a shame because Sardinia is fantastic biking.

However I had allowed 10 days for the possibility of the late arrival by planning some time in NE Spain so we’ll hire a car and do that anyway – which is probably not such a bad thing as it’ll be 0 to 6 c in Andorra when we’re there.

The bike being loaded in Sydney in January. The same BMW F900XR that we took last time.

For those of you who are new to our travel blog, this will be our fourth motorcycle trip to and through Western Europe, which is indeed a little excessive. But if you’ve done it once it’s just so enticing to do it again.

This post is a teaser for the up coming weekly blog posts, so stay tuned.
Tomorrow we fly out of Melbourne to London then on to Barcelona.
