About this trip

THESE ARE TENTATIVE DATES, YOU CAN RESERVE YOUR SPOT BUT PLEASE DO NOT RESERVE AIRFARE UNTIL WE CONFIRM DATES. The Tuscan Tripinar is a week long trip to grow your riding and travel skills in Italy. 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. Tuscany is the perfect place to work on your riding skills. Lots of lonely scenic backroads with low traffic. Centuries of civilzation mean the region is criss crossed with roads serving the farms and vineyards connecting hill town after hill town. Lots of elevation changes and curves to keep you excited all day. Small towns with local cafes and fresh food prepared with typical Italian passion for life. The 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!


How does this work?

We arrive in Rome. We encourage you to come a day or two early to let your luggage catch up. Explore the "Eternal City". We have loads of tips on what to do in Rome. From how to do the must see sites right but more importantly learn how this modern city integrates it's epic past with modern life. Then we are off to Tuscany. You'll be placed in a group of 3 or 4 riders according to your desired pace. Everyone has com units and a GPS. No one will get left behind. Your squadron supports each other. Your instructors will keep track of everyone on What'sApp and we are ready to lend of hand if you need it... but you'll learn, you can do this. Our coaches are standing by to work with you on your ride and give you real time feedback on your riding skills. Our hotel in Tuscany is in a small resort town, not a tourist trap. You'll navigate Italian life and find the tasty spots. Each day in Tuscany there will be an array of routes for you to choose from. Will you dodge the tourists around the famous towers of San Gimignano? Don't worry we know where the hidden motorcycle only parking is located. Maybe you are a MotoGP fan and always wanted to visit Valentino Rossi's home town of Tavulia? We know where you can look down on his ranch and the VR46 training ground. Chase the curves of the Chianti region and walk the circuit of the Palio in Sienna. Grab an ice cream in the little plaza in Vinci and sit at the feet of one of Leonardo's greatest sculptures. We encourage you to create your own routes before we go. You'll have instruction and homework before you go that will allow you to create your own dream day. The hill towns of Anghari, Pienza, Volterra and Montalcino call, which ones will you go to? Leod Escapes has been doing tours in Italy since 2015, so we have some favorite spots. Our hidden lunch stop in Radicofani where no tourist bus can go. The local rider gathering spots like Passo del Muraglione or Lo Scoiattolo (The Squirrel) bar and gelato spot high above lake Trasimeno. Whenever we do tours in Italy people often come to "see" but they return home with memories of places, people and experiences they didn't expect. What will be yours? At the end of the week we'll return to Rome on another fun route before you fly home. You'll return home with not only great memories of Italy but increased riding skills and probably some new traveling skills.

Itinerary

Day 1
Welcome to Rome

We always recommend you come a day or two early just to make sure your luggage catches up to you and to adapt to the time difference. Plus who can't use a few extra days in Rome. Grab a cab from the airport and we'll see you at the Hotel. Let us know if you want to come early and would like some extra night reserved for you. You'll get lots of local tips on Rome from us as well so don't worry. You'll have great ideas on how to walk off that jet lag... or maybe go Roma style and rent a scooter. Arrival day we'll meet for a riders meeting and get the com units sorted out. That night we'll head to one of our favorite local trattoria's that makes the best Cacio e Pepe.

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.

EPIC ADVENTURE! Where can you meet like minded track junkies and tour around through some of the BEST TWISTIES in Spain 🇪🇸 and then ride 3 days on a moto go track!!? Leod Escapes that's where! Attacking the 365 turns on the way to the coast 2up, espresso breaks, perma grin, jumping into the Mediterranean Sea, riding a S1000rr on a MotoGP track with some of the fastest instructors I've ever met video taping and improving your lap times, food out of this world, wife happiest I've ever seen.....well these are just some of our highlights! My 3rd tour with Leod Escapes and they seem to just keep getting BETTER! AMAZING!
