It's time once again to learn how to ride Europe in its top motorcycle playground. A week long trip to the Italian Alps to show you how to create your own EU riding adventures. If you want to explore the EU by motorcycle on your own but are a little nervous about how to go about it then this tour is for you. You'll learn about routing, rentals, what to pack, where to stay, how to eat, cultural barriers, cameras, traffic norms, and of course how to get by when you don't speak the language. You should be an intermediate to advanced skilled rider and who views obstacles as a chance for adventure. This event is created and run by 15 year tour operator veteran. Cat will step out of his role as a guide to be your teacher and engage you in some hands on real world training. We are rallying to get some Misfits to join us as well. Maybe even Miss Emma if she's ship shape in Bristol fashion... though she's a doll from further north. The day trips are just suggestions, you can do what your like.
This is a common run everyone does the first day to figure things out. Some people do it again the next day backwards. It's time to learn to ride like a local, pass like a local and hunt for the best strudel. Today you hit the "Sella Round" for the first time a collection of the most scenic passes in the Italian Alps. Get your video cameras set right because this is the good stuff. Learn the standards of "top of the pass" services and how to ride Alps hairpins. Break up into small groups and ride your pace but meet everyone at the top. Watch for buses and cyclists as this is one of Europes most popular playgrounds.
