Circa 1974

This is an old picture I took a few years ago,!! almost 33 years ¡¡. It is in Covadonga National Park. In Covadonga Lakes. This place is where the Reconquer started and took centuries. The enthusiast of road bicycling could know the place by the Spanish Tour.
Nowadays for a picture like this,with the bikes just in that placem, will be prosecuted.
Nice bikes is´t it?, and nice place.

Alfredo,

I knew something was wrong as I did not hear the crowd to cheer me up.
I will.

Alf, those are some great old pictures. I love old motorcycles almost as much as new ones. It's illegal now to ride in Covadonga National Park? My wife is always talking about going to Europe. If you keep posting these pics she's going and will see it from the back of a rented Sport Tourer.  

Hi cmoore.
Glad you like both, cycles and photos.Ya, it is illegal riding in "just" the places where the photos were taken, because they where out of the trail, and this is now illegal in Covadonga National Park and all over the Asturias region. I tell you more, almost in the whole Spain. We have many problems to ride in the countryside even using the former cattle trails or path. It is a madness.
I love old bikes too.Got some Bultacos and Montesas.
Alfredo.
