Alto
Turia Ride 2008
The
Advantages of going with Trail Truck
OK, so the thing you need to know about the
Alto Turia Ride is it's a tough event to do from the UK. You get
five days superb riding, plus all the background organisation & infrastructure
that goes with a major rally, including marshals, medical cover
etc. All delivered in a fantastic setting, but you have to get yourself
and your gear there. You have to support yourself during the event
and then drag your weary bones all the way back to the UK after the
fun and excitement is over. These logistics put many riders off,
which is a shame, because for the same price as a skiing holiday,
you can have some of the best riding of your life.
So what's involved if you want to go independant?
You will need to register for the event and hand over your entrance
fee via the Spanish internet site. You need to get yourself and your
bike from your home, across the channel, through France and down
to Valencia. By the time you arrive at the event, you will
need to have sorted accommodation, arranged back up support and booked
facilities to manage your bike overnight.
To get there, you are talking
days of boring, tiring motorway travel (18+ hours motorway driving
once you are across the channel!). Expect to have spent £100's
on the ferry, vehicle fuel, tolls (1 way across France with a van
is over £100) and other travel expenses like overnight stops, food
etc. You will have wear and tear on your vehicle, you will need to
have sorted European insurance cover, and European breakdown cover.
You need to take more time off work and will be away from the family
for longer. You will arrive at the event already worn out from all
that traveling and of course, you face the joy of doing it all again
at the end of the event when your knackered. Remember too you need
to navigate and drive long distances when tired on the wrong side
of the road - not without risk to you and your vehicle. To top it
all, you really need a mate to come along to provide back up support
while your off riding each day - fuel, food, fluids, breakdowns etc!
The solution - The Trail Truck package (well we would
say that wouldn't we?) - it saves you mega hassle, days of travel
and gives you peace of mind to relax and enjoy the event. It wont
cost you any more than trying to do it independently - it's just
you don't notice the money when it's dripping out of your wallet
with day after day of traveling! We are offering a unique Alto Turia
Ride package for every class of machine in the event - single cylinder
enduro / trails machines, multi cylinder adventure tourers and side
car / quads. All with a superb fly / ride package from the UK.
We take care of all the hassle and the logistics,
leaving you free to make the most of your holiday. We can do this
because running overseas motorcycle trips is what we do every week.
We work closely with the event organisers to run trips
all year round to Spain and North Africa. We know the event, we know
the location and we know the people that matter.
