It was Don’s first time back out with the group and he got a very warm welcome when we meet at the Monte Pego gas station today.
In the group today Aad & Mieke, MAD, June, Pete the Scoot and Siggi & Bella. As the weather looked a little unsettled we decided on an easy ride.
Down the N332 towards Javea, then Benitachell before heading down to Moraira for a coffee stop on the front. Plenty of space to park today for the 5 vehicles. We then followed the coast road to Calpe. At the junction with the N332 we saw loads of bikes at the old Road King but decided not to stop. Shortly after joining the 332 we passed 2 Guardia on bikes. Siggi was in the lead at the right speed but soon disappeared. Then we saw one of the Guardia tearing past us on his bike. We thought he was in hot pursuit of Siggi but it turns out he was after a car!!
A second stop at Allelujah bar in Jalon for a chat and then home to beat the rain. Luckily apart from a few spots we stayed dry. We saw quite a few bikes on the road today also all chancing the weather.
Perhaps the rain (and the water leak) was confined to Orba today! No photos this time.
