About this trip

THESE ARE THE DATES FOR THE TRIPINAR. TO DO THE MOTOGP OPTION YOU WOULD ARRIVE THREE DAYS EARLIER. 

The Pyrenees Tripinar is a week long trip to grow your riding and travel skills in the Pyrenees Mountains (On the border of Spain and France). Break into small groups of 3 to 4 riders according to desired speed so you can enjoy FREEDOM OF PACE. No being frustrated by following some slow tour guide or being pushed beyond your limits trying to keep up. Every rider gets a radio com unit and a GPS with an array a great local routes. Trip package includes access to Yamaha Champions Riding School Champ U online course to help you prepare. YCRS certified coaches join the trip to give you live feedback on the road. Your skills grow exponentially here as you take on challenges no parking lot drill can offer and no race track can replicate. A coach right behind you can see when it's time to add more weight to that inside peg. We can help you time the rear brake pressure on the hairpin so your bike just pivots around like magic. We'll be there to cheer you on as things start coming to together and your confidence increases along with your pace. It's so f@cking fun!

We are still coming up options for the MotoGP package but we want to present these options to YOU. Our initial thought it is if you're going to do it once, then do it right and get the best experience but of course, we are always looking for good value. We already know what places are best to watch this race from as we've got a lot of experience riding this track. We will coordinate with riders who reserve this tour to see what options are most attractive to everyone. Then using our contacts in Catalunya we will organize something for the group. 

More than a Vacation

You'll learning routing, navigation and secrets to picking a good hotel in Europe. You'll pick up cultural tricks, how to deal with the language barrier and how EU roads are different. The point of the Tripinar is to give you the skills to be able to ride Europe on your own. You are a motorcycle rider, international travel should not intimidate you.

The Goal

Leod Escapes has partnered with our friends and Yamaha Champions Riding School and our friends at the Motorcycles and Misfits Podcast to give you a trip that is more than a vacation, at a price you can afford, in a time frame that's easier for working schedules. You learn how to travel by motorcycle. You grow your riding skills. You get to feel the road at a pace you enjoy. You will get faster and safer with experience. Leod doesn't cheat you by charging an exorbitant price if you want to bring a passenger. You get to ride, eat and experience Europe like a European on vacation not some ignorant tourist. So join us and "Ride the Dream".

In & Out of Barcelona

Your arrival and departure city is Barcelona. It's hot a destination itself with plenty of sights, restaurants and night life. Your BMW R1300GS or F900XR are waiting for you just north of town. We are working on getting some F900R for shorter smaller riders. Reserve the model best for you early. Barcelona is fun and you should arrive a day or two early to enjoy it if you can. We've got tips on what to enjoy in this modern thriving city with ancient relics tossed into the mix.

The Pyrenees

The Pyrenees have been training MotoGP racers for generations. It's a vast mountain range that extends from coast to coast. We will stay in a resort town in the center so you can explore multiple routes in this beautiful area as you practice your skills. The Pyrenees are twisty and EMPTY. You'll get lots of opportunity to practice your sweepers and vision skills as traffic here is minimal. Your 4 star Hotel is very "Pyrenees" style in the center of town. You'll eat like a local in this resort area that wants you to come back year after year. Theres a great Tapas and Pixos place up the street as well as a wide variety of restaurants. Fabulous included breakfast every day and be sure to drop into France for lunch. Lamb is particularly good here.

Great trip with great people. Hotels were excellent and everything went smooth
By Chris C for 2024 Tuscan Hill Hopper Travel Training Tour on Nov 29, 2024
I had a great time on the Core of Catalunya tour. The owner of Leod Escapes, Cat, was with us the whole way through, helping to facilitate and guide. He helped make sure we were informed of important details and that everyone was making it safely to the destinations. A big bonus of this tour was having Michael “HeyNow” Henao from Yamaha Champions Riding School on the tour. He’s not only a great guy, he brought the insights of a YCRS instructor to help us improve our riding while on the tour. We also had a wonderful local guide, David, with a deep and personal connection to Catalunya, riding, and racing. David brought us on the most amazing twisties I’ve ever ridden. He also shared stories of riding and racing that gave me an unforgettable appreciation for what this place represents in the world of motorcycles. The food was exceptional. We ate at some hidden gems throughout the region that would’ve been near impossible to find without someone familiar with the area. All of the hotel stays were also very exclusive. We stayed in beautiful locations only locals usually know about, far from tourist-heavy areas. This also allowed us to see amazing parts of Spain I didn’t even know existed. To top it off, we ended the tour with 3 days of riding on the Catalunya MotoGP circuit with Racing School Europe. That was incredible. Speechless. Overall, this was a life-changing tour, my riding has improved drastically, and I can’t wait to do the next one with Leod Escapes!

Our recent tour through Spain was my 2nd experience with Leod Escapes. The group dynamic was again exceptional, fostering a sense of camaraderie that made the journey more enjoyable. Our guide, David, was not only a skilled rider but also an effective communicator, ensuring the entire group's safety while keeping the pace up. We also had Michael from YCRS help build on the foundations learned at Champschool, which made me feel like an accomplished canyon rider by the time we ended the trip. The meticulously planned routes perfectly blended challenging twisty roads and spectacular landscapes--every mile was an adventure. Our time at Cataluyna, in particular, was a highlight, pushing my riding abilities to new limits and providing an unforgettable 3-day track experience. (Be prepared to buy an additional set of slicks!) The accommodations were comfortable and the food was delicious, offering a well-deserved rest after a day of riding. However, incorporating more free time in the late afternoons would allow riders to explore local towns and immerse themselves in the area at their own pace. If you're a motorcyclist seeking an unforgettable adventure, I highly recommend this tour. It's the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself, explore a beautiful country, and connect with like-minded individuals.

There are no words that could properly encompass this trip. To say it was a surreal, and absolutely indescribable experience would be an understatement. I knew it would be epic, the trip most dream of, but it completely exceeded every expectation. Could not POSSIBLY have imagined it better. Blown away. Thank you Leod Escapes, Cat and Nancy.
