I am a bit "deceived" seing many special IBA rides along many countries but not in mine - Spain.
It is someway weird as this is a country with long and high motorcycle lovers tradition, and also culture and history. Maybe related to the fact looks like not many spaniards involved in this group.
As I guess they all start with some member having a good idea for a ride that could be repeated, and as per some people suggestion in this line, I have started to think about some "could be nice". But to make it a reality I got some doubts.
My first doubt arised when I tried to import that usual idea of many four corners rides in other countries. The problem there is spain is a too big country. No way to integrate such extent into an actual base IBA ride. The shortest way to cover the corners mean more than 3K kms trip. So does it make sense to put such in an IBA ride? how could it integrate a SS or BB and still look like usual system?
Apart of that there are a couple trip/ride ideas based in traditional ways I have in mind.
One based in the Way of St. James (guess most here will know that), and the other on life/movements of Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar "El Cid", a middle age knight famous for "El cantar de mio cid", spanish equivalent to french "chanson de roland" or saxon "Beowulf":

I have crossed all the roads in both along different trips, and had idea of using directly as a base for a single ride long ago, but now realized both are perfect to be used as base for theme SS or BB routes.
So how should I proceed to define them in a way suitable to make future special rides? Can I propose now as I already know the points and roads or should I start doing a true IBA ride following them? How should I record/make/setup eventual waypoints and procedures like what to visit and where to make pictures? Who and how should I send or advise whatever?
