INTRODUCTION TO TOURING

BOOKING CLOSED

A SHORT TOUR SPECIFICALLY FOR THE NOVICE TOURER FRI 22nd TO SUN 24TH MARCH £460

If you're not sure if touring is for you, maybe you have doubts about riding in a group or just want to get a taste before you commit to a longer, perhaps a European tour, then this is specifically for you. Book now!

Arriving at out our comfortable hotel on the Friday afternoon or evening at a time to suit your work or life schedule, you can relax with a drink and dinner and get to know the other tour members. On Saturday morning we will breakfast together and run over the days activities.

Leaving the hotel around nine thirty, we'll head off into the beautiful Cotswolds taking in a good mix of roads for an hour and a half, then have a short coffee break at a pleasant little stop I know. This will give time for any questions arising from the ride so far. Heading off for more of the same, we will have a look at the "marker system" for those unfamiliar with it and after a lunch stop for an hour or so, we'll try the "buddy system". Sat nav routes will be provided for those wanting them and we'll be available to help getting your routes set up if required.

The day should finish around five pm, with time to relax before dinner with the group. After dinner(or before if the group prefers) we'll have a look at what to pack for a tour and how, with a fully loaded bike prepared for a ten day tour. You can also ask any questions you may have on any aspect of touring and motorcycling. We will have a look at breakdown insurance, especially important in Europe and the paperwork you will need to take with you.

Sunday morning we'll take a leisurely ride out for around two and a half hours, the Cotswolds have some great roads and picturesque villages and landscapes to offer. If you have a sat nav and would like to lead the group for a section, we will try to fit that in too.

After a final question and answer session, we should finish around lunch time, so that you can all head home in daylight and get ready to book your next motorcycle tour with Love Motorbike Touring.com
