The “Big Boxers” will be cruising along rugged coasts, through dense forests and past mountains and waterfalls. The participants will get to know hidden places and exciting people, indulge in local and international cuisine and recharge their batteries for the next day in accommodation specially tailored to the tours.
With a maximum of 12 participants per tour, the 150 to 200 kilometers daily stages guarantee speedy progress on the road, great fun together in the evening and an intensive shared experience on the “Urban Day,” when the participants get to immerse themselves in the melting pot of famous cities: San José in Costa Rica, Lisbon in Portugal and Portland/Oregon in the USA.
New, intense impressions await the participants at every turn: pulsating life, foreign scents, spectacular architecture, even the soundscape is never the same. After all, every city has its own rhythm. And you meet the people who make the city’s heartbeat. For example, when visiting a handcrafter or a local market.
After dinner, the day ends in a variety of ways. For example, with a whiskey tasting, cocktails “on the roof” or live music, before everyone is back in the saddle the next morning: “The Great Getaway—start your R 18, please!” Eight days of unforgettable riding pleasure combined with impressive experiences await the participants.
- Costa Rica, March 2022
