what about,,taking the 24 hour ferry from Portsmouth to santander and doing the Camino to santiago de compostela and back again along the north coast road,,, we would stand a good chance of fine weather as it' Spain and as long as we don't go up into the mountains we should be OK, any time of year,,,,,we can use the small hotels guest house's,,, AND we get a mini cruise at the start and the same coming back.....to get over the sore butt

Just a thought 8-)

A friend is riding his Burgman 400 in the Cannonball. Here's a link to the run map, updated in real time by GPS. My guy is #230: http://followride.com/. He's already gone cross-country once along Route 66.
