Bespoke Motorcycle Tours and Rider Coaching

Welcome to the Peak Rider website.

2024 has gotten off to a rocking good start!

Even with two days of dust control February’s popular Baja Sunshine Tour was the best yet! It is not possible to have anything but a fantastic time in this part of Mexico. Icing on the cake was some epic whale scratching. Imagine a 30 tonne Labrador Retriever that likes a belly rub and you’ll start to get the picture. We’re currently working on dates for 2025.

On to Europe then. Let’s go!

Currently one rooms remains available on our bespoke tour To Prussia with Love tour – set to go from 1 to 13 September. Our mission is to reach Wroclaw in Poland by connecting a decade of UNESCO World Heritage sites and several more than maybe should  be on the list. Rolling low mountains, rewarding riding and laugh-a-minute camaraderie are key ingredients of our unique recipe. Overview below.

Closer to Global Headquarters we continue to offer one-on-one advanced road-riding skills development. When was the last time, if ever, that you had your road-riding skills assessed, or sought to improve them? Every day is a school day. Have you been skipping class?

In the meantime, let’s not pay too much attention to everyday news feeds – generally a festering miasma of depression. Biking is a joyful activity and, as a notoriously gregarious and happy lot, we can share something everyone can use more of; kindness and laughter.

Version 2

2025 Baja Sunshine Tour
10 "No Bad Days" + Whale Watching
Dates to be confirmed

This fantastic trip has consistently proved to be an all-time favourite. It’s not hard to understand why. Stress just seems to instantly melt away every time we visit Baja California.

After you’ve ridden across the cactus-studded otherworldly Valle de Los Cirios, breezed alongside the azure serenity of Bahía de Concepción, and then arrived for a warm evening stroll in the cosy quaintness of historic Loreto, you’ll be wondering whether there is any real need to return home.

Well, we’re in no rush and there is much more to enjoy, including a whale-watching excursion at Bahia San Ignacio. We reckon this is the best place on the planet to get up close and personal with gentle 30 tonne grey whales, and their newborn calves.

Centuries-old Spanish missions, hidden oases and delightful surprises are dotted throughout. Cue the Baja California motto: No Bad Days!

To Prussia with Love
Central Germany, Eastern Poland and Czechia
1 to 13 September 2024

Tour Overview 

We’ve taken high roads into mountain aeries, and low roads to below sea level. This time we’re sticking to middle roads, right across the rolling landscape and historic heartland of central Germany.

Beyond the usual rollicking laughter, funky hotels and rewarding riding the central point of this trip is a two-night stay in the Polish city of Wroclaw, capital of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship. Given that some of you may never have visited a voivodeship it was clear we were well overdue to put this to rights.

But wait, there’s more! Oh yes. We’ll also be dipping into the Czech Republic, and not just for the castles that seem to top anything resembling a high hill. You’ll soon discover that there is a lot more to this country that Franz Kafka, and beer, something the Czechs drink more of per capita than anyone else in the world.

Our 2024 To Prussia with Love Tour is also a form of time travel. Whilst we are firmly in the present, and might even see hints of the future, we’ll be stopping in many places of ancient and historic interest. At last count there were about 10 UNESCO World Heritage sites on the agenda, never mind a steady stream of the everyday weird and wonderful.

Unlike some previous tours we will be experiencing a few larger – but not too large – centers on this trip. In addition to Wroclaw (sign up early for the pronunciation seminar) we’ll explore bits of Dresden, Regensburg, Nuremberg, and Aachen. Smaller towns include Mühlhausen, Loket, Kutná Hora, and Český Krumlov. One night we’re in a forest. A hotel is supposedly there.

Our tour gets underway in two places. On 31 August those who are coming from the UK will take the overnight P&O ferry from Hull to Europoort (Rotterdam). Those coming from North America will obtain their hire bikes in Frankfurt. We will all meet up the evening of Sunday, September 1st in Wuppertal, a city I wasn’t even aware of four months ago.

Our final night together is in Aachen. On Friday, 13 September, following a brief visit to the highest point in the Netherlands, the Brits will make their way back to Europoort and the North Americans to Frankfurt, or wherever their onward journey takes them.

Some tour highlights:

   ✓  Baroque and Rococo – Meet Dresden’s power couple.
   ✓  Skullduggery – Meet the skeleton staff at Sedlec Ossuary.
   ✓  Trainspotting – World’s oldest electric railway, dating from 1901. We ride it.
   ✓  Wellness – Two breweries where we’ll be staying feature convenient on-site hotels.
   ✓  See Cruise – Daylight crossing of the Vltava

As is the case for all Peak Rider tours there is no chase or luggage van, nor a designated sweep rider. For the sake of everyone’s health we will ask you to confirm that you have been vaccinated against COVID prior to making your deposit.
