If you spend virtually all your life locked inside the M25, and wish you could find some great roads for riding, then this is an opportunity to escape from "The Smoke'.
The idea of this course is to provide a recreational riding element within the training framework, so the two and three day 'Escape to...' courses fits in the work I normally do on the one day
Bends course, and the four day 'Escape to'... course covers the same ground as the Survival Skills two day course.
Our carefully planned route to Montgomery in mid-Wales starts near Oxford (just over an hour from central London) over brunch, then follows a selection of excellent twisty B roads
through the Cotwolds and the hills of Worcestershire and Shropshire, stopping for lunch in Tenbury Wells, before arriving in the early evening in Montgomery in the Welsh borders.
Accommodation is in a comfortable, mid-priced hotel, with good food and wine on offer, as well as some excellent real ale for the beer drinkers, with plenty of time for post-riding chat.
After breakfast next morning, the two day course then heads down towards Llanbister and Presteigne before returning to England and more great roads back to Oxford in the early
evening, covering around 250 miles in total.
If you opt for the extra day, then the second day heads up and over the Cambrian mountains and back via some narrow mountain roads (weather permitting) and then back to Oxford on the third
day, with around 400 miles being covered over the three days.

Please note this will be a mid-week course and will run May to mid-July, and again in September to avoid peak tourist bookings and weekend traffic. As the emphasis on this course is enjoying
the roads as much as the training, the the training element will normally cover the content of the one day Bends course on the two day "Escape to..." course, and the two day Survival Skills
course on the three day "Escape to..." course.
Escape to... France
CURRENTLY IN PLANNING - this course will take in a 2 or 3 day trip to Northern France, with an option to visit some sites of historical interest, such as the sites of the battles of Agincourt and
Crecy, World War One battlefields and the V2 launching sites of World War 2.
Prices do not include accommodation and ferry/tunnel crossing charges.
