Would this be far too difficult if I don't pass my DAS until Spring?
I don't want to bite off more than I can chew and have people needing to support me. I also haven't passed my CBT yet, so it would be 1 year experience in total...
Not at all!
If you're a little unsure I'd say get here before the Monday so you can join us on the earlier fun runs to get used to the mountains, but this is 100% open to all abilities.
Last weekend I did a run to Ticino (Italian border) which was 350kms there on Saturday and 350kms back on Sunday through nothing but mountain passes with a guy who had just got his first big bike. He had literally got it the day before the trip!
For his 18th birthday his mum got in touch with me to arrange the group trip with fellow YouTubers as a surprise present to go with the bike she got him (a CB500). She's an awesome mum!
Anyway, we had a big range of abilities and all it means is that the faster guys high five and circle jerk at the end of each mountain pass while waiting for the others. Everyone has a great time and rides within their abilities. We did have an issue with 10-feet of visibility for 40 minutes up one of the mountain passes so we all rode at 50km/h but it was all good.
The biggest concern is the journey to get to me as I cannot be with you for that, and it will either consist of mountain roads by yourself (not a problem at all for any ability if you take your time) or boring/difficult long stretches of motorway.
Edit: FYI commuters are always far and away the best riders even up the mountains. The track day/weekend warriors are all terrible up there!
