It's been a while since I updated this blog we are now in the middle of summer the temperatures are up in the 30's and higher daily, not the most comfortable of weather to be in full riding gear. Over the last four months or so I have been lucky enough to go on ride out's on Wednesdays with a group of ex-pats who know the area very well and it's been a pleasure to do this when the weather allows I have now managed nearly 6000kms so far including riding during some extreme restrictions due to this bloody covid bug.
Talking of the covid bug, last year I was supposed to take a trip back to the UK to once again drive my race car but the restrictions stopped me doing this. This year the restrictions were not so severe but I needed both my vaccine jabs to leave the Country so I once again missed the big meeting of the year Dragstalgia 10 but I could get over for the Hot Rod Drags in September, I began to make plans! I started to plan out my route to Calais I don't like motorways and try and avoid them if I can but definitely no toll roads. I was just into a couple of days planning when there was an announcement on the news stating that anyone travelling back to the UK via France would have to self isolate for 10 days even if they were up to date with their vaccinations due to yet another variant "Beta" this time!! Well that changed things as there is no way I could afford 10 days in an isolation hotel price or time.
It looks now like I will have to look into booking one of the Spain to UK ferry.s this trip is now going to be far far more expensive than I budgeted for....needs must and all that.
