I think that's called "Deals Gap" in the US.......... something daft like 250 bends in 4 miles

it sure looks like it. A few over on the US Fazer forum go on about the place and a few of the UK boys have been over there and tried it. It's looks cool but I'll take the uphill road from Los Burgos to Yoguera in the province of Malaga. Lost count of corners after 8 kms and decided to focus on the ride and the old boy on his old K Beemer who clearly knew the road (general excuse employed by me for being a poorer rider than someone I can't get round ). Every corner with the positive canver too. :yo:

Anyway, this'll piss Trotsky off http://www.team140.com/gaprun.wmv :}

Look carefully

Cos about 3/4 through the car clip - you can spot Cyclops and Gippo coming the other way!!

Cant find either of those two places you mention - correct spelling?

Doing the road from Vinaros to Alcaniz to Caspe to Huesca to Jaca and then on to Pau in France ourselves this September. 293 miles of cracking roads..

You'll never keep up Bert unless you take them stabilisers off

 

[ianrobbo1]

you'll be in trouble now Pete!! Bert has been asking/telling us all NOT to post pictures of his new bike and there you go and show the world!! :}

 

[Wolfie]

Spellings are fine mate, but you'll be about 8 hours riding away from the province of Malaga you'll be in Catalunya.
Fekcin 'el, Vinaros is about 30 minutes from place in Spain
I know the roads round there quite well funny enough :}

If you want a real challenge try this route:
From Alcaniz take the N420 to Gandesa and then follow the road to Acso.
Asco is ya starting point. Follow the road to Flix and then onto La Granadella.
From La Granadella head to Ulldemolins. Then continue the road to Cornudella de Monstant and down to Alforja. Continue on the same road to Borges del Camp and then pick up the N240 and follow it all the way back to Gandesa through Mora la Nova. Dave T liked it so much he rode it twice on two consecutive days :} .

Just try it Buzz - you'll like it if you don't like main stream.

Ah yes Deal's Gap, actually 318 turns in 11 miles, Samster.
The video does not do justice to the technical aspect of the turns. Many of what you see are off-camber, blind , and some with tricky elevation changes. A very fun road.

[Jaws]

Cheers peeps
By the time I got to read this I had been there and done it ! LOL !

What I find of concern is that the bike with the camera was at some points having probs keeping up and was also decking out big time !

So what the heck was the video operator riding !!

John, my theory is, he was a little unsure if the the GW rider, slinging an 800Lb. canary around was not going to put it on the ground. Think he was staying out of the potential danger zone.
