Yes. You will need to have some way to navigate to allow the philosophy of 'riding your own ride' by which we live. Nobody enjoys feeling pressured to ride faster than they are comfortable with and, equally, nobody likes to be held back from riding their preferred speed. Should you find yourself away from the group, someone will always meet you along the route.

No. Many of our tours use hotel accommodation. Even on the camping tours, we have a few nights in hotels. Also, there are often campsites that provide lodges or cabins. Should these be available when we arrive, you are welcome to take advantage and the guide will help you with that. However, any alternative accommodation costs won't be included in the tour and will need to be covered 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.

Of course! We will have morning pre-ride briefs, explaining our route and next meeting point. You can stop for any reason and at any time and meet us further along the route. We always wear headsets, if you break down or need assistance, just call.

Absolutely, you're welcome to meet us at a pre-arranged location along the route.

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

Oly is an excellent mechanic, but should the very rare occasion happen where he cannot help, we hope that you have taken note of our compulsory requirement of having European breakdown cover, which actually isn't that pricey.

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