Unique Chance to Ride Off-Road in the Pyrenees

Following the popularity and success of last year's Off-Road Tour to The
Pyrenees, Simon Pavey and his World of BMW Off-Road Skills team have planned
two more incredible trips to the stunning mountain range in 2007. Those who
have already completed a Level One BMW Off-Road Skills course can embrace this
superb opportunity by riding their own motorcycle from the BMW GS range or
other similar large trail bikes.

Motorcyclists will have the chance to experience some incredible routes devised
by two-times Dakar Rally course organiser David Castera. Off-roaders will also
have the privilege of being led by the highly experienced UK Dakar Rally
coordinator Chris Evans, who has taken off-road tours to France for over 17
years.

Both seven day tours, taking in some of the most spectacular off-road trails in
Europe, will give riding enthusiasts the chance to put their off-road skills to
the ultimate test on the two dates scheduled: 2 - 8 May and 17 - 23 October.

Those taking part in the tour will begin by meeting the group at Plymouth for
an overnight ferry crossing to Santander. After disembarking in Spain, riders
will experience the twisty roads near Santander, before spending the night at
the beautiful and historic Santo Domingo. The following day, will see a short
run on the auto route before enjoying breathtaking views riding off-road riding
in the Bardenas desert.

The next day the group will then head to France, bypassing the ski station of
Iraty. This part of the journey will include a mixture of on and off-road
riding where participants will stay in the Pays Basque region. The tour will
then return to Spain for a variety of piste and mountain road riding along the
coastline to the overnight stop at Gernika. The trip will conclude with a ride
back to Santander where the group will catch the overnight return ferry to
Plymouth.

The price is £1,000 per person which includes a back up vehicle, return
overnight ferry crossing from Plymouth to Santander, two nights half-board
accommodation and one night B&B in Spain and half-board accommodation in
France. Accommodation is shared for the duration of the tour. Interested
customers are advised to book early to avoid disappointment. Please call the
