This years "idiots abroad" party tour. Start and end in Europes most beautiful city, Vienna. Arrive a day early and enjoy this amazing city. Head south into the Alps of Slovenia and Austria to enjoy mountain roads and family run local hospitality. Ride north to Ceske Budjovice in Czechia to see bizarre castles and dine at a local rider spot in downtown Jindrichuv Hradec. Ride Brno for three days with Troy Corser and stay in a 4 star hotel right in the paddock. We will be visiting some castles during the day and most assuredly drinking just one to many at night. This is meant to be a festive tour with a lot of laughs and bare minimum of structure to give the unexpected a chance to happen. This tour was run successfully for two years but we are changing the route up a bit to try out Vienna. Slovenia and the Czech Republic requiree adaptability as things are not always dependable like in Austria. Makes for an adventure and a good excuse for another round of drinks, because the beer here is absolutely amazing.

Just deal with it Paris, Vienna has you beat. This gorgeous city still echoes with the festive nature of the gilded age. Your hotel is near the motorcycle rental place a bit outside of the town center. This hotel is lower cost and good for exploring things in the outer ring of the city... like Schonbrun Palance We recommend coming in a day early and letting your luggage catch up to you and your head adjust to the time change. Don't worry we've set aside a day for exploring the city center when we return.
What's Slovenia like? Well it's kind of like Switzerland at 30% off. They also don't have vindictive fun killing police like Switzerland. We take the Austrian back roads to give you a feel of what life is like. Besides the highway speed limits are too low for us. Our destination is the resort town of Bled.
Head up Vrsic Pass today in the Julian Alps. Get used to your bike and begin practicing that trail braking again. Hmmm wonder what Slovenia food is like tonight. Work up an appetite!
Bid farewell to Slovenia and head west through the countryside. A few twisty roads off the beaten path, a required stop for fresh döner or schnitzel and we will find our way to another small family hotel that's cuter than kittens with an amazing kitchen.
We ride north on an interesting route where we actually put our bikes on a train and go under the mountains and emerge in a resort town of a 100 years ago, Bad Gastein. The remains of this forgotten playground of the gilded age are being restored and the region is experiencing a rebirth. We ride across the back roads of Austria until we cross the Danube and head into Bohemia. Tonight we stay in the Czech town of Ceske Budjovice.
Another day of backroads action but it is distinctly different, sweeping curves through farmland and forests. On todays list is the over the top, neo gothic wet dream, Chateau Hluboká. Lunch is at a local riders restaurant in the old city of Hindrichuv Hradec today. Then it's through the forest curves on our way to our 4 star hotel in the paddock. We'll be here for 4 nights so settle in.
Today it's all about learning the reference points and the lines. Our partners at the track will get you up to speed. Watch your breaking marker for turn 1 and get used the the massive elevation changes.
Today it's about braking technique and body position. Slow your pace and commit the body position changes to memory. You'll work with your coach each session to improve.
Today it's time to put it all together and work with your coach on your personal trouble spots. Be sure to get a photo of yourself on the podium.
It's time to sleep in a bit, we don't have far to go to get back to Vienna. Our track luggage should however beat us back to town. Tonight it's time to celebrate like men/boys and have a good time.
It's rare we will take a day off bikes and pay big bucks to stay in a city center hotel but Vienna is worth it. Being your day in an open air cafe. Stroll through the wonders of the past with the bustle of the present. The Waltzes of Strauss suddenly make more sense as you walk through the Baroque masterpieces. We've got a good steak dinner planned for tonight and options for proper adult entertainment. We celebrate with "Wein, Weib und Gesang".
We know the easy ways to the Airport. Make sure to check with us before hand so you make it to your flight on time.
