This will be a fly/ride tour! Dates will probably be over 1st weekend in October (but not yet fixed). A block booking with Trailblazers Pro to ride their Casas Rurales tour:

This is 3 day ride with 4 nights hotel accommodation aimed at all bike riders who have some experience at riding off-road. Wonderful trail bike riding in spectacular scenery. Experience the beauty of Andalucia and generous hospitality of the locals in the white villages of Andalucia.

River bed crossings with and without water. Lake riding within forested areas. A mixture of naturally made bomb holes and off camber tracks. Fantastic accommodation in Casas Rurales: traditional style hotels in gorgeous places. Full days off road enjoying the beautiful surrounds. Choice of bikes KTM, 2 stroke, 300, 4 stroke 250, 450 and Honda HM 4 stroke 300 and CRF. Expect to ride approx 110 kilometre each day. Fully guided with backup vehicle transporting luggage to each location.

Day Three: After breakfast, we are heading to the village of El Borge famous for its grape growing and olive oil production.

Go on then. I'm in.

I will probably ride down on the 1190r either thro France or the ferry to Santander and make a longer trip of it Anyone else interested in doing that ?
 
Dates now confirmed as:

Friday 2 October - Tuesday 6 October

I'll be collecting the £100 deposits very shortly. However, there are more places available should anyone wish to join this trip (although you shouldn't leave it too long - October is a popular month!)

It does look like that Team Biffin's Bridge will not be able defend our victory as the replay will be on Friday 9th ...

With that sort of experience you will probably double the combined riding ability of the group. ��
