The format of the holiday is as follows:
We will collect you from the airport when you arrive, and transport
you to the agriturismo. We will get some lunch (usually in the local
bar), then go for a ride together for an hour or two, to get used
to the bikes. Each member of the group is asked to ride in front
for a few minutes on this ride to get an idea of each individual’s
riding style and allow your guide to adapt to suit.
We ask each group what they want from their holiday, whether they
prefer more riding or sightseeing, what sort of speeds they like
to ride at, how often they like to stop, if they would like to stop
at picturesque points for photos etc. If the group would like a
DVD of their trip, we will introduce our videographer who will discuss
what kind of footage to take.
Each day your guide will meet you at the agriturismo at around 9
am (8am on the day of the Ducati tour) and will guide you on that
day’s ride over the mountain passes. We stop every hour to
hour and a half for a drink and at lunchtime to eat. We spend a
few hours in the towns we visit and take in the major sights, then
ride back over more mountain passes. Most evenings we return to
the agriturismo at around six, where you will have your dinner,
and can sit and enjoy a drink.
On the last day we will take you back to the Airport.

"The bikes are so light and forgiving,
they are ideal for the twisty mountain roads, more hairpin bends
than i have ridden before. The combination of the roads, the bikes,
the scenery and the places we visited, is a winning formula"
Peter Loveday - Cobham
