Col d’Illoire – 964m

We’re just a bunch of mates who enjoy motorcycling and in 2006 decided to do some touring in mainland Europe. Back then there were 5 of us and in the ensuing years riders have come and gone, 10 in all to date.

With the exception of 2017, and up until Covid, there had been a tour every year since 2006. And in 2023 touring resumed again, albeit with reduced numbers and we’re now down to a trio.

Over the last 20 years we’ve ridden through 12 different countries over hundreds of mountain passes clocking up 30,000 miles. Purely for our own amusement and reflection this website is a travelogue of those tours.
