Ride Spyder Club Bikes in Spain

1 comment February 6th, 2010 11:06am spyderclub

Spyder Club are heading to the southern Spanish region of Andalusia with a fleet of desirable bikes including the Aprilia RSV4 Factory, Ducati 1198 S and Streetfighter S and the new BMW S1000RR.  From the 12th February to 7th March 2010 you are invited to enjoy 4 days of stunning mountain road riding in the winter sun of Spain on truly amazing motorcycles.

Based in a villa above the village of Casabermeja with views of the surrounding hills and mountains, Spyder Club is offering 4 days and 4 nights of motorcycle heaven.  Members and non-members can flee the winter gloom of the UK to ride under the Spanish sun across entertaining mountain roads unspoilt by the usual traffic met on British highways.  Each route offers something different – from challenging switchback hairpins and spiraling mountain roads to fast-flowing sweeping bends – this is a short break that will offer like minded company for two wheeled enthusiasts.

Within the price (£800) Spyder Club offers each guest, accommodation in a well presented villa with terrace and pool (3 bathrooms between 6 bedrooms), breakfast, lunch and dinner with drinks.  Meals will be both in restaurants and provided at the villa.  Also covered are fully comprehensively insured motorcycles with fuel for 600 miles of riding and a support van with spare bike along with European breakdown and accident cover.  Guests will need to arrange flights to Malaga airport where they will be picked up by a Spyder Club representative and personal travel insurance that covers motorbike riding is highly recommended.  Motorcycle gear can be transported to the villa at no additional cost but will need to be at either Spyder Club base prior to our departure and will remain with us for the duration of the trip.  For pictures of the villa and views please follow the link and see pictures titled Casabermeja: http://www.spyderclub.co.uk/gallery/spyder-club-events.php/17/19/events/

For further information on the accommodation or the transportation of motorcycle gear please contact Spyder Club by email or call 01332 850344

Itinerary and routes: each day will start from and return to the villa.  For pictures taken along the routes please use the link and see photos titles Spanish recce: http://www.spyderclub.co.uk/gallery/spyder-club-events.php/17/19/events/

Day one: head to Malaga using the A45 motorway to familiarise riders to riding on the right and remind those who’ve stopped riding over winter what a bike is!  On to the E15 towards Marbella until the A7 along the sweeping coastal road from Mijas, then back on to the E15, coming off on to the A397 to Ronda.  The road from San Pedro to Ronda is stunning and will lend itself well to the rider who has not ridden in the winter months, easing them into the motorcycling to come.  From Ronda the A366 is taken back towards Malaga; starting gently it soon turns into a well surfaced mountain road with first gear switchbacks.  It’s an exciting road, climbing up over Puerto del Viento and then dropping into the village of Alozaina where the ride continues north on the A354.  On to the A343 through Alora and then Antequera the day finishes on either the A7075 back road to the villa or the A45 and a well earned beer!

Day two: many of the roads used on day two are spectacular mountain passes and riders can look forward to a day of exhilarating and very challenging riding.  The A356 will lead from the base on to the A402 up to Ventas de Zafarraya which will ease riders into the day as well as offer a taste of what’s to come.  The route continues on the A402 – which briefly flattens and straightens out once it plateaus – only to return to its former twisting glory downwards to Alhama de Granada and Moraleda de Zafayona.  Crossing the A92 the route joins the A335 to Montefrio, a gloriously inspiring road with beautiful southern Spanish scenery.  Riders will continue on to Alcala on the A335 briefly using the N432 north to join the A339 to Priego.  The A339, although relatively straight will offer a welcome rest from the previous challenges, before the final stretches of left to right corners on the A333.  From Priego the A333 entertains all the way back to the A92 and then the A92M back to base.

Day three: after the twists and turns of day two the fast sweeping route of day three will be a joy to the muscles and eyes as the generous offering of scenery in the Ronda region whizzes by.  Heading back towards Ronda, riders will initially use the A45 and A92 west to get on to the A384 where the route starts straight but after the town of Campilos the scenery quickly changes and riders begin to sweep gently through the hills on roads built for motorcycling!  The bends tighten as the route nears Olvera though still allowing good speed and the ride continues in this manner to Ronda, joining the A374.  From Ronda the ride moves along the A367 heading north east, again providing a relaxed but very entertaining ride through Andalusia.  On to the A357 south east the route flows towards Malaga where riders can choose between the A45 or A343 to return to the villa.

Day four: a half day to allow for packing and airport transfers, the route begins on the A356 changing to the beautifully surfaced A7000 – known locally as the Malaga mountain road – which runs through the Parque National Montes.  This really is a fantastically smooth and fun 30 kilometre mountain ride.  As Malaga draws near, the road corkscrews down and down towards the city and its conclusion which comes far too quickly!  Off the mountain road, the route jumps on to the E15-E902 west to Cartama and the A7059.  The road initially isn’t too inspiring towards Coin and bypasses the town on the A355 towards Monda but it all makes sense once the road begins to climb up, over and down the mountains towards Marbella.  A fast sweeping road awaits and rewards the patient rider, and once at the bottom, turn and do it all again!  The route back will then follow the A45 to Casabermeja for the last time.

Each ride has been driven by Spyder Club and stopping points for rest, refreshments and lunch have been determined and the routes can be shortened or easier sections used should it be necessary for individual riders.  All four routes were huge fun in a 1.3 Toyota Yaris, this can only bode well for the riders on Spyder Club’s motorcycles!

If you wish to join Spyder Club on this very cost effective short break, using some of the latest and best motorcycles on the road today, in the winter sun of Spain and on hugely entertaining roads then please contact Spyder Club either by email or by calling 01332 850344.  We look forward to hearing from you…
