Max Adventures
rallyadventurebike 'Max Adventures' are held abroad, and are organised to maximise the amount of riding whilst minimising the amount of time off work (typically no more than 5 days).
We select areas that give us contrasts in landscape, cuisine, culture, riding, climate, terrain and space in comparison to the UK. They are the highlights of our riding year!
Every trip is given a 'chilli rating' from 1 - 5, this is intended to give an impression of how intense the trip is taking into account the quantity and technicality of off-road riding, and the typical riding day length.
Included with every rallyadventurebike Adventure is a trip specific version of our ‘Adventure Ready’ course. These are a great opportunity for everybody to meet before going away and will guide you in the preparation of your bike, what tools and spares to take, what and how to pack, navigation equipment, and how to deal with trail side breakdowns and emergencies. This knowledge will give even greater confidence and enjoyment on the trip.

Our tarmac only tour, but no less of an adventure - just a different type of challenge! We travel East across France to the historic city of Verdun before heading south through the beautiful Vosges Mountains and along the side of picturesque Moselle river.
T
Then into Switzerland and Italy to conquer 12 of the best passes in the Alps. We tick off the famous routes as well as some that are less well known. All have been selected for their ability to challenge, thrill, and inspire! Some of the big names - Stelvio, Susten, Furka, Nufenen, Gotthard, and San Bernadino, and that is just half of what we will be riding! We will master iconic routes used for the Tour de France, past James Bond film locations, 'The World's Best Driving Road' according to Top Gear, and the highest paved roads in Italy and Switzerland. All the time enjoying truly epic scenery.

Our ferry leaves Portsmouth on Thursday night (allowing for a full days work beforehand), and arrives in Bilbao at breakfast time on Saturday. We then take our time heading east to our HQ in the foothills of the Pyrenees, just south of Andorra. We avoid the main roads and instead take the less travelled and more scenic routes. Perhaps with some off-road sections depending on group priorities.
Our character hotel has secure parking for the bikes and provides a wonderfully comfortable base for us to travel out from. We have a total of four and a half days riding without luggage to explore the foothills around us and to reach up in to the highest sections of the Pyrenees around Andorra. All routes are fully rekeyed and are suitable for big bikes.
Then to conclude we take a different, but equally impressive, route back to Bilbao and the ferry to arrive in Portsmouth early evening on Sunday.
For those that are not so keen on ferries and wish to maximise their time away, we have researched an option that involves the bikes being transported from Kent. Then fly in to Barcelona, pick up the bike (only 15mins from the airport), and a 3 hour ride to our HQ.
Date for 2027: Thursday 9th - Sunday 19th September, please register your interest here:

We are very lucky that this sparsely populated and wild area is so accessible. Our route will take us through the heart of the Picos mountains and on to three ‘Reserva de la Biosfera’ and four ‘Parque Natural’. We will be climbing mountains and cruising across plateaus. We will see vultures and eagles, and perhaps hopefully not the Brown Bears and Iberian Wolves that make this wilderness their home!
Fabulous character hotels with the option of a rest day, or a day riding without luggage, in the middle.

We transport your bike to and from the Algarve so that you can access some of the finest Adventure Bike trails in Europe in the most time efficient manner possible. Leave the wet and grey winter weather behind and fly in to Faro to be reunited with your bike after a short 30 minute transfer. Blue skies and temperatures in the mid 20's beckon!
The trails are endless, sweeping and carving through the beautiful landscape - Eucalyptus, Cork, and Olive plantations in one direction, the Atlantic coast with its cliffs and sandy beeches in another. We tailor the route to those taking part, from open and flowing to rockier tracks which are excellent preparation for Morocco. A special treat are the optional hill climbs for all confidence levels to enjoy.
