EPIC trip! Italian Alps and Sachsenring Circuit!!!

I was lucky enough to participate in a Leod Escapes EPIC tour/track adventure this August where I got to ride through the Italian Alps and then finish off with two killer days on the famed Moto GP circuit of Sachsenring. I wrote an article for Motorcyclist on the adventure and the story can be found below. Just thought I'd share!! Enjoy.

Sounds like you had a good time, I envy you. As a matter of fact I'd like to be just like you if I ever grow up. Those Euro trips can be so much fun. I've done it many times but never on a motorcycle. This sounds like it would be a good time with this group. How many riders participate? How often do they run it? Can you bring your own bike?

This just cemented my desire to do one of these trips. Looks like it was just as much fun as it looked on paper.

Awwwww, thanks. It's a pretty good life I accidentally stumbled into :dance cool:

This group was so cool and while I've never done other trips what I really respect about this group is that they are really dedicated and focussed on being off the beaten track and having locals involved. You can check out more on the webpage here: http://www.leodescapes.com

Actually they have a contest going now so vote and you could WIN a trip!! I'll be joining them again for the Cali trip in October which ends with two days at CSS Laguna where I will then put my coach hat on. AND....I'm working to try and be able to do the Australia trip in December Fingers crossed.
