Penguins would not be the major international winter concentration is not the cold, hard winter. This year is no less than in previous editions and the snow and low temperatures were also registered in the concentration of 2010.
Taking advantage of the weather forecast for Saturday 9 gave an "uncertain truce" in the storm, we decided to travel to Puente Duero (Valladolid) to be in the 29 Penguin edition. Well equipped to combat the cold (-5 ° C leaving the toll A-6, Adanero ) Juan Recio (BMW 1150 GS), José Ramón Noguerol (BMW 1200RT) and Jesus Blanco (BMW 1150 GS Adventure, a good friend and fellow world traveler on a motorcycle) us stand with our horses in the recreation area Bridge Duero, where the merger takes place.
We
good, clean road and only the section from Guadarrama to Villacastín "recommended" go with a little more caution, being also the coldest of the trip both the outward and around.
I have to admit that go with these bikes Penguins (Protection, thermal cuff, security ...) and a good team right technical clothing is much more "comfortable" that years ago when travel was more "heroic" with "other" material and "other type motorcycles. In any case remains a journey that you have to do at least once in your life (curriculum) for passenger on a motorcycle.
Penguins And what, what?. Then register us, see the atmosphere, meet friends, acquaintances greet, take several "penguin broth" , eat a good snack with drinks one of the refreshment stations, try the "carajillo penguin" , talking about travel and fascinating land for horseback on a motorcycle, browsing the stalls selling "things" of bikers, bikes see "specially prepared" for the occasion, to look with admiration to the living legends like Honda Africa Twin ....
Once the sun rises, as it snows lightly, it seems not, but it is quite cold. Decided to make it around early in the afternoon to travel light and avoid the falling temperatures. We cherish it and take the A-6 . At first it Good afternoon, with sunshine and some "nice" 5 º C but Villacastín height and travel down the thermometer with a little "comfortable" -1 º C . Everything is snow, the road clean but drive with caution. Freezing temperatures (-2 º C toll ) accompany us to the entrance of the tunnel Guadarrama. In Villalba we already have a "warm" 4.5 ° C . With clear skies and good rhythm at home 18:30. Glad the hot shower.
