Hi Mark,

Yes, I think so. In March they put the signs up overnight and I think most were temporary overlays!

I guess the thing to do is check the signs before you ride on a given stretch - remember this is only the dual carriageways and motorways, all of the other roads remained the same anyway - there are also many sections of both that have speed restrictions anyway, but these are always signed.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for this - hope you can follow my meanderings as I do a somewhat Quixotic trip around Spain* - I'm at an amazing place called Albarracín now for three nights - then whooping it up in Madrid with a very rareified crowd of cool jazz groupies at the weekend! After that on to Portugal and the wilds of Galicia!

Talking of which - I like your quote from Jorge Luis Borges -heavy reading for a biker!

Caio!

Simon
* no, not that kind of trip - not these days!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
