April 2010
It’s been a hectic time for Trailblazers hence the blog is a Little late.
As mentioned in my last blog I am looking at the Yamaha WR250R. Although I think this bike is a great bike its no lower in height than a WR250F. I have decided to buy a Yamaha TTR250 to test. The main criteria for us is the seat height. It will be for those customers who find the bigger Enduro bikes too tall. The bike will be here beginning of May and I will report back.
The base at Competa has had a complete overhaul no thanks to me!! It has been totally racked boxed and labeled up. I now have plastic boxes for everything and can’t find a bloody thing ……. but Liz knows where it all is!!
We have found a lovely new hotel for our overnight stop over tours www.elventorro.net. It has its own Arab baths and massage facilities. Just the ticket after a hard day in the saddle.
MOROCCO
We have our new Salam Maroc tour which takes in the Atlas Mountains, Sahara dunes and beaches of Essasouria near Agadir. Already 2010 dates are nearly full and we have had to turn customers away. We are now taking bookings for April 2011. We only have limited numbers and two short seasons due to the extreme weather ,so when they are full they are full. We cannot extend or add more bikes.
For those of you who have not been able to come due to the Volcano Ash firstly blame the Cod War, then the Banks, and now the Ash. I´m not going to Iceland for my holiday that’s for sure.
I´ll be back soon with more info.
Regards, Graham.
