EP1: Pyrenees Motorcycle Tour | Portsmouth Ferry to Caen + Ride to Le Mans 15 Bikes on the Road

majority. [Music] This is our hotel in Bazingstone people to engage in in more extreme behavior. And um my final question is what would you say? This is the toilet. One of our magic winners, misogyny, conspiracy theories. Do you think they’re nuances and are they completely safe through or should they? And then you press the button. Those three things have been part of every extreme movement for the last at least 100 years. There’s all the bikes. [Music] Electric blinds. And in some quite nice air machine. [Music] So, here we are, the beginning of the tour, the Pyrenees tour. So, we’re here in Baing Stoke in the hotel. Goose is downstairs having a drink and something to eat. Um, I’m up in the room watching Titanic at the minute. Um, reason being, um, I got up this morning with a bit of a bit of a dodgy stomach. uh went to the toilet obviously. Yep. I’d got a dodgy stomach. It never really went. It stayed all day. So on the way down to the hotel, I was just counting down the miles thinking, right, how long before we can stop cuz I need to get to the toilet. I need to get to the toilet. Um, since this morning, I don’t think it’s anything to be too worried about, but I’m now just passing blood. So, I said to Goose, I said, “Right, so I’m going to stay in the hotel room tonight.” Uh, I said, “I’m just going to chill, just lie down.” Um, I quickly popped down to the boys, said a quick hello, but I’ve come back up to the room. So, I’m feeling a little bit rough now. So, tomorrow morning, obviously, we get up at 5:00. We’ve got to leave the hotel at 6:00 cuz we’ve got to get to um Portsmouth. We’ve got to get to the ferryport um to get the ferry. So, I’m hoping I can get an early night and whatever’s going on passes and I’m fine tomorrow. So, didn’t film anything on the way down. Bit of a weird start to the beginning of a tour. Um, we decided not to film coming down. We’d film from tomorrow, uh, obviously from the ferry. So, I’ll just make this little video. I thought just in case, worst case scenario, what am I crossing my fingers for? Worst case scenario, I end up going home tomorrow, which I hope not. So fingers crossed this video continues and we’ll see you in the morning. So ciao for now. [Music] Quit dreaming now. The sun is on the rise and by the end of the day this dusty room will be a thousand miles away. Once heard it said in a song, best keep to traveling on [Music] right deep into town. Another night of setting up and breaking down. And if we leave here tonight, we’ll be halfway to Barstow by daylight. I’ll take the wheel if you start to yawn. Just keep traveling on. [Music] Can barely stand on two feet. Callous fingers tap my weak and shaky knees. At least I can rest my mind. Find some comfort in those yellow and white lights. They’ve been there all along. Keep traveling on. [Music] Tell me, what is this place? Countless people, but now one familiar face. It’s not so bad, I suppose. Starting over every time I change my clothes. Even here, I’m all but gone. Best keep to traveling on. [Music] Big wheels turning on a lonely song. Best keep to traveling on. Best keeping on. Right then. Here we are. We’re in France. Yeah. We’ll get petrol in and then um we’ll set you up. Right. We got goosey. [Music] We got dad mad John. His first time. We’ve got Antonio Braveheart Dove ID. We got Wizo. We got Jim ID.

Now, nice and steady. Just give yourself some time to get into it. Yeah. Yeah. Don’t get Don’t go too overboard on the conversation just yet. Let John get his bearings and get used to it. That’s it. Once we get to some of the country roads, you can relax a bit then, John. Yep. Everybody through. Second exit straight over the island. Remember to look left. Yeah. What they’re notorious for here, John, is they don’t use indicators on island. Well, pulling in for petrol. Uh, no. This will just be a normal go in and pay. I think I think you can pay by the machine, but I think you can go in. Oh, I need to come back to you, Goose. There’s only diesel here. You fill first. It It might reach over. Yeah, I’ll tell you what. full both of ours and then the next one I’ll fill both of them. Should reach over. Yeah, it normally just covers up on them. John, you’ll see an English flag and it’s just the same as the time. Put your pin number in and choose what petrol you want. Well, you’re here, buddy. You’ve done it. Yeah. The problem is there’s going to be that much shit coming through your intercoms while you you’re trying to pay attention.

So Piggy, are you going to be the back marker? So Pig is going to go at the back. Whatever formation you get you in into, just remember, stay your form. So at least you’ll know who’s in front, who’s behind, and we’ll know if someone’s missing. Just watch. Watch any cars there turning. [Music] Straight over. Second exit.

Join us as we kick off an epic motorcycle adventure through the Pyrenees! The journey starts in Portsmouth, UK, where 15 bikes board the ferry to Caen, France. Spirits are high, the engines are ready, and the road ahead promises scenic beauty, twisty routes, and unforgettable moments.

Our first leg takes us from Caen to the legendary Le Mans – a perfect warm-up before we hit the mountains. But not everything goes to plan… One of our riders has fallen ill just before departure and might not be able to make it. Will they recover in time to join the ride?

Follow along as we ride through France, tackle mountain passes, and explore one of the most breathtaking regions for motorcyclists.

📍 Route: Portsmouth ➡️ Caen ➡️ Le Mans ➡️ Pyrenees
🏍️ Riders: 15 (hopefully all of us!)
