Ride Portuguese Paradise in February
Ride Portuguese Paradise in February
While most Brits are suffering the bitterly cold winter days, Off Road Skills Chief Instructor Simon Pavey is offering motorcycle enthusiasts a chance to join him on a unique week-long holiday in southern Portugal in February.
Simon and his team will be running two tours on BMW GSs for customers to enjoy a fantastic guided motorcycle holiday that will explore the beautiful mountain trails and roads near the spectacular coastal town of Vilamoura. Dates are 7-12 February and 14-19 February 2010.
“The tour encompasses a mixture of riding. From twisty mountain roads, fire roads, water crossings to beautiful forest trails. It’s a dream tour for any rider that loves GS-style riding – both road and off-road,” explained Dakar rider Pavey.
“It has been inspired by the international press launch for the F 800 GS, in which I took part and had such an amazing experience that I wanted to share it with other riders.”
“The group will be based at a luxury hotel near the stunning Vilamoura marina for six nights. Then over five days participants will be led by myself and Off Road Skills staff along some of the best flowing roads and off road trails I have ever ridden. It’s a chance to enjoy five days of brilliant riding and then relax in the great accommodation in the evening.”
Participants will have the benefit of flying directly into Faro Airport (cheap flights are available via EasyJet). Customers will be collected and taken to the hotel where they will stay for the duration of the tour.
Riding will start on the Monday where participants will have a choice of riding a supplied BMW F800 GS, G 650 XChallenge or G 650 XCountry. Over the five days of the tour, the group will be led along scenic roads and breathtaking trails by the Off Road Skills team and each day will return to the hotel in Vilamoura.
The tour costs just £1,500 per person, which includes motorcycle hire, fuel, six nights shared hotel accommodation, breakfasts, lunches, Off Road Skills guide, back-up vehicle, as well as return airport to hotel transfer. It does not include evening meals, drinks or flights. Single accommodation is available for a fee. Participants must have confidently completed the Off Road Skills Level One course or equivalent.
