No, you don’t. Many tours use hotel stays, and even camping tours usually include a few hotel nights. If a campsite has lodges or cabins and they’re available when you arrive, you can choose those too. Any upgrade or alternative stay is paid by you. 🏕️

Tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat/bed roll, pillow.

Every campsite we visit will have either an onsite café, bar and/or restaurant, or very close-by, in the local area. Some people enjoy bringing their own food and cooking onsite with their own equipment. Very occasionally, due to unforeseen circumstances, onsite restaurants have been known to close without notice, so it is always a good idea to have emergency supplies with you. We can, of course, stop at a supermarket en route or ride to find a meal!

Not at all, you are free to choose. We will provide you with GPX files in GPX1.0, GPX1.1 or GPX1.2 before the trip. You can decide on the day if you want to ride on your own or stay with the guide. You can change your mind at any time.

Yes. You carry your camping gear on your bike. We hire out tent, mattress, sleeping bag and pillows, if you don't have your own. Simply add to basket on the bookings page.

Yes, absolutely. We’ll give you a morning briefing with the route and next meeting point, then you’re free to stop whenever you want. Coffee, photos, a break, no problem. If you need help or want to rejoin later, just call us.

Yes. If the ferry from Plymouth doesn’t suit you, you can meet us at a pre-arranged point along the route. That gives you more flexibility. Just let us know your plans and we’ll help you line it up.

Not at all! Natalie and Oly both speak Spanish, although it would be nice to learn a few words to be able to greet the locals and order a drink.

Generally, it's 6 bikes per guide, occasionally 7. Even with 2 guides, the largest group we have ever taken is 9 (that includes the 2 guides).

Any bike that can maintain a speed that keeps up with traffic conditions, including brief motorway sections. But, if you can't keep pace with the general group, you can use the GPX files we provide, allowing you to self-navigate to meet us at the accommodation. The guide/s wear headsets should you need assistance or general support.

This can depend on the route and the general group, but we usually try to stop hourly. You will probably find that you see so many beautiful views, you'll stop as frequently as you need.

An adequate level of competency for the weight, size and capacity of the motorcycle you are riding is necessary. Often our guests find that they become more confident and develop more expertise throughout the tour and we are on hand, and very willing, to help with any advice. No-one will judge you.

We can absolutely provide you with a list on request, we also have many YouTube videos to help you decide what to bring @ridespain

First, don’t panic. Oly is a great mechanic and will help where he can. If the problem needs extra support, you must have European breakdown cover - it’s a compulsory requirement. That way you’re covered and the adventure can keep rolling. 🔧

No, not generally. There are some sections with optional off-road tracks, but there is always a guided, paved alternative.

You’ll need your own navigation device or phone setup so you can ride at your own pace. That’s how we keep it all about riding your own ride. If you drift away from the group, someone will meet you along the route. Easy.

Yes, we do. GPX files are provided for self-guided tours so you can ride at your own pace and still follow the planned route. Ride solo, ride with the guide, or switch between the two. It’s your ride.

It depends on the tour, but you can usually expect ferry arrangements, accommodation, GPX route files, and full support along the way. Check the individual tour page for the exact inclusions. That’s the best place for the detail.

Absolutely. If you want something a bit different, we can help plan a bespoke ride through Spain, Portugal or the Pyrenees. Tell us what you want, and we’ll build a route that fits your group and your style.
