Hi Charlie Just watched your video and surprised you tackled that Sotres to Espinama trail 😬 I remember sending you a msg in Instagram when I saw you were going out there a week or so after me and I said I had put my back out after 3 drops at that very section you turned around at. Ibeas there again last week after La Rioja and stayed a few nights actually in Espinama, the end of that trail and where I started it as I did it the other direction- respect for trying it but it’s challenged a lot of riders as it always looks so easy in the videos but is the polar opposite in reality. Glad you managed a U turn on that scree- respect indeed 😊

Enjoying your videos of the fantastic Pico's roads and area (I've been once and going again in 2025). You had the same problem that Richy Vida had a few years ago when they tried to get up that road on VFR800's. They now all have adventure bikes and do this trail every time they're there. His videos of that road are stunning.

Thanks for posting! Even though it didn't turn out as you had first imagined, it was an adventure! 🤭. If I could offer the opinion, the 450 MT you have named Bella, will take this sort of trail in her stride. Bags of power and light weight will see you riding this sort of trail and not worrying about it. I do think also, a bit of "Paper Map Planning" would be a good preparation for off road riding. GPS / Google Maps are full of these sort of nasty gravel road traps, whereas a paper map will show you where the tarmac ends. Ride safe!

Reminds me of a Euro trip years ago crossing Belgium. I was at the front blindly following the Satnav, took a turn and was instantly on a steep downhill slope that was nothing more than a deeply rutted soft mud track, I had no choice but to ride down it as I couldn't reverse or turn around. I was on a Tiger 1050, so it was a challenge but do able. My mates were on a BMW RT and a GSX1400, and just assumed I knew where I was going. Riding down there loaded up with luggage slipping and sliding was a nightmare. I got some stick after we got clear. Lol. Same thing almost happened in Scotland last year, a friend was leading and watched as he rode off the end of the tarmac, I stopped and so did his wife on her bike. I laughed my head off, while we pushed him back onto solid ground.

Having watched these three vids though i may go up on my newly aquired Himalayan, which seems the perfect bike for it. I have a 1200 Vmax as well, but wouldn't dare. The Rocket and Z guys must be crazy. Really very enjoyable watching for my wife and i. Looking forward to more. Ride safe.

True motorcycling adventure not knowing where you are going. A little KZbin research in advance (lots and lots of people go to Picos just to ride that trail) or a copy of a paper map and you'd probably have missed it completely. It's "easier" from the other direction. All power to you, I've watched several KZbin videos where folks don't manage to get Adventure bikes up that slope where your pals stopped the 2 roadbikes. No ones hurt, you had fun. I'd recommend carrying a copy of the paper map with you. Glad you enjoyed it and were safe. Stuart

Famous last words "The TomTom is always wrong" came to rather bite you! Well Google maps could have potentially got you into a lot of trouble had you not turned around. You tried to ride the famous Sotres to Espinama off road trail. It is really steep and rough in places. It is the GR202 walking trail. I recognised it straight away and realised you'd either have to turn around at some point or get stuck. I can't imagine how scared the rider of the Triumph Rocket would have been as it is no place for a cruiser. Do you just use Google maps or other mapping eg TomTom, not or paper maps to find suitable routes? I have the Spanish IGN maps for the Picos NP which are equivalent to our OS 1:25k Maps in the UK. They clearly show the trail you were on is an off road trail the GR202. I got these the first day I arrived in Potes. They are extremely detailed. Maybe next time you go pick some up? The cable car for Fuente De is best approached from Potes along the CA185 where there is lots of parking at the Fuente De cable car station which is at about 1100m. How you would manage on it if you have vertigo I have no idea. It looks every bit as scary as those in the Alps or in the classic cable car scene in Where Eagles Dare with Richard Burton. The cable car at Fuente De goes up the spectacular cliff face to around 1700m. I'm not scared of heights but there is no way I would go on it. Instead I did a one day circular walking trail PR25 which starts and finishes in Fuente De taking about 6.5 hours and gives stunning views of the surrounding mountain ranges. The final descent down a mountain path adjacent to where the cable car goes up the cliff face at Fuent De is simply stunning. Fantastic views. Love the Picos de Europa. Lovely footage of Covadonga and the basilica at the end.

The route is lovely and the Himalayan is the best bike to do it on.

Thank you for all your helpful tips. We did have a paper map too, and had actually planned to do this trail another day when we would send the road bikes a different loop, however we ended up on it by accident. 🤣

Up on the foot pegs don't look down bum as far back as you can get it look 100 yards ahead you have only two burms to take because of the camber of the road start with the inside and if not suiting you move to the outside. X Moto cross rider and remember if in trouble stop.💋

Hmm.. that wasn't a trail though, that was just an unpaved (& somewhat steep) smaller road.. a trail is a lot more basic..🤔🧐😉
