I know people that have... and they fecking love it, so much so that they try and budget for 3 a year.
3 days of perfect weather on awesome tracks as part of a holiday has got to be a winner. They do cry at the cost and sacrifices sometimes. For example potential downsides... One of them crashed on day one and the bike was un usable = an expensive trip They put on fresh tyres and take a spare set = expensive They have to be without their bikes for 1 to 2 weeks each time for transport After the first day if your an unhealthy bugger like one of them is, then your in agony and aching for the next two days

I know its more expensive, but would hiring one of their bikes similar to what you own be a better idea?

I'm doing 4 days in Almeria end March its my first time abroad but the others who Im going with have been going for a couple of years and wouldn't miss it.
When u compare on how much 4 days of summer trackdays in the UK cost its a bit of a bargain. Im paying £450 for the 4 days on track, £100 flights, £50 extra day in hotel, £90 on fuel and £150 on tyres. Plus I'm having a days tuition with a biking type legend I know they have Crafar, Hodgeson, Renyolds, Laverty, McKenzie, Plater and Seeley on their books. |

Most of the day is open session so you can go out when you want.
Everybody is mullered after the 2nd / 3rd day even if your superfit but the hotel they put you up in is 5 star with pool. |
