TOUR DETAILS;
The Algarve:
Your first impression of the Algarve is of its beautiful sandy beaches or its 27 golf courses but what you might not be aware of is the impressive biking roads (many are new, which you can thank the EU for) over the Serra de Monchique Mountains with its breath taking scenery and views right up to its summit at Foia at 3,000 feet.
The Tour:
Over the seven days in the Algarve you will be given a choice of a guided tour to places of interest like, the medieval Silves castle, the Fort of Henry the Navigator at Sagres, a day trip into Spain to ride over the Sierra mountains (in my opinion one of the best biking road I’ve ever ridden on, in all of Europe) plus trips along the beautiful coast line and the many beaches.
If your're going to 'ride' the bike then I have a massive selection of roads and routes I can take you on durning your stay in the Algarve.
One route for example (if interested) is called ‘The old road to Lisbon’ (as they now have a new motorway); it’s not for the faint hearted. It consists of over 30 miles of newly surfaced top quality roads with 295 bends, twisting its way over the Serra do Caleirao mountains. Its mind blowing.
The Algrave has the famous Monchique mountains, which is a 'must do' not only for the roads but the amazing views to the coast some 30 miles away
Or if you want to chill out, opt for a lazy day out from biking and simply lounge around the hotel out door swimming pool with a cool beer.
The Plan;
The normal plan is Ferry from Plymouth to Santander.
Accommodation on route is a Hotels, first stop is Potes (Picos), 2nd is Caceres (Spain) then only Loule (near Faro Portugal)
Loule we stay in a Hotel within walking distance to Loule village with its many restaurants and bars.
Loule is just 10 miles from the Algarve coast.
During your stay I can arrange daily ride outs on some of the most amazing and empty roads in Europe.
Return route is via Salamanca (wonderful historic town).
Final day is the short ride to Santander and the Brittany Ferry with a overnight crossing to Plymouth.
Limited numbers:
The tour will be a maximum of Six bikes so it will be a very one to one experience, not like most guided tours which simply offer you a map and say “see you there”. This trip/tour will be done at a leisurely pace, so will suit those who have limited experience travelling abroad. Even if you are an advance rider there will be many opportunities to ride the challenging roads at a pace to suit you.
If any one of the group wishes to fly out and hire a bike this can also be accommodated (please ask for details) .
Fly Out?:
If your partner would like to arrange a cheap flight out to Portugal (Faro). We can arrange collection. This gives them the freedom to choose to attend the tours on the bike with yourself or stop off at the Villa and chill out around the pool. This trip is very flexible. Let me know your thoughts and we’ll see what we can arrange.
Bike Hire;
Why not choose to Fly down and hire a bike direct from me. This would cost £93 per day which would include accommodation and unlimited mileage. (full payment would be needed). For a 7 day fly-hire so meeting up with the rest of the guys work out at only £650. This actually works out cheaper than riding your own bike down!
Bikes available is Yamaha Fazer 1000 or KTM 890 Adventure.
Weather;
Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the Algarve has a very mild climate, with very little rain full so making it ideal biking weather. In May and October the temperature ranges between 20-25 deg‘C.
The Cost;
The tour can be very flexible to suit your needs.
A 13 day tour would have an inclusive price which covers the ferry and Accommodation) for Rider and Bike.
Pillon is extra.
This includes all accommodation and ferry crossings.
Your only expense is fuel and food.
Please note; You will need to arrange your own personal insurance and bike recovery.

only £1299 or rider and bike
(Pillion is an extra £899)
