EUROPEAN TOURS                                    UK TOURS - CLICK HERE       2006 DATES

For the last few years I've been taking ex-students to Spain. I have to admit that many of the Spanish roads are incredible and very quiet. On one 90 mile stretch of road I saw no more than 6 cars!! Most are surfaced very well; probably paid for by the Brits!! (according to Jeremy Clarkson) The experience of a Spanish tour is unforgettable and I now have a lot of ex-customers who go every year with me. (can't get rid of them!) The format of the tour is something like: -

Depart on a Wednesday or Friday; ferry to Santander or Depart Saturday; Moto Rail to Toulouse.  From Santander south towards central Spain or south from Toulouse over the Pyrenees to Spain. Between 4 to 6 nights exploring central/northern Spain. Return back to UK via ferry or Moto Rail. We only stay in 3 or 4 star hotels (normally Parradors) There is not a tent within 100 miles of our tours! After an exhilarating days riding it's nice to step into a marble bathroom/shower have a drink from the mini bar before heading out for a few beers and some diner.  Not only is the riding great but the whole experience is one you won't forget in a hurry and you WILL go back again!!  We have all sorts of riders on the tours; this May we had R1's Tuonos, Multistradas and Pan Europeans to name a few. Every one rides at their own pace and we meet up frequently to grab a coffee and generally talk bikes. Every rider gets detailed maps (mind you the number of riders who now have GPS is astonishing) as well as all the contact info they could possibly need. In all the time I've been doing these trips we haven't lost anyone yet!!

                                                                                                               

Currently 2 European tours booked this year  21 - 29 MAY (sorry but fully booked) and 25 - 31 October (sorry but fully booked - book next year!!) . There may possibly be another one at the beginning of September. Costing depends on time of year, number of nights and whether ferry or Moto Rail. As a guide you would be looking at between £550 - £850 per person. This is inclusive of ferry costs (bike and cabin) and hotel accommodation. You would only need your fuel, food and beer money!
