Leod Escapes Tour Schedule 2023
Czech Out Brno Track & Tour 2023 “The Vienna Variant” (Austria, Slovenia, Czechia)
DATES: May 26 to June 6
This is less like a tour and more like a bunch of guys riding and exploring Europe. Expect a just a whee bit too much to drink and a lot of laughs. To keep costs down we have no luggage truck, we will be living out of panniers. Our track gear will be transported to and from Brno for us. Vienna is the city of Mozart, Strauss, home of the waltz and it still pulses to the tune of “Wine, Women and Song”. The pace in the mountain curves is quick but safe. In the towns we keep it down. If you need some time off, some old fashioned fellowship and goofy laughs then this is the trip for you

Italian Dream Track & Tour with YCRS
DATES: September 11 to September 21
Rome should be seen, not just for the big touristy stuff but for so much of the little stuff to. Roma has character. Getting out of Rome on a rental bike is always a bit of an adventure but one clear of the city the real nature of the tour kicks in. You’re in Italy, you aren’t just seeing it, you’re a part of it now as you thread through the the back roads on our way north to Tuscany. Our hotel outside Sienna is always a client favorite with home cooked meals from ingredients right out of the garden in front of you. Chianti will become more than a type of wine for you, it will be a place where you had so much fun chasing your new riding friends through the curves in the vineyards. Mugello is a piece of sculpture you get to ride on. You’re walking the halls of your heroes, throttling harder out of curves you’ve only seen on TV, getting tips from Troy Corser. It’s more than fun, it’s something that changes who you are as a rider, you’ve ridden Mugello. The villa you stay at in Tuscany is a little surreal, it feels like something out of a movie but it’s real and the croissants are excellent. The wine resort in Orvieto feels a bit luxurious but why not enjoy it. You will NOT loose weight on this tour. Real Italian food isn’t just about quality ingredients it’s about being prepared with passion. The flavor is a revelation. Video, photos, and fluffy copy don’t come close to the sights, the sounds, the smells and above all the feeling of Italy. Watch one of our client testimonial videos and the truth is you just have to experience it yourself.
