Who it is for
- Enduro riders who do not want to lose their rhythm over the winter
- Riders who refuse to put a sheet over the bike in November and want to keep training
- Anyone who wants to start the season better than they finished the last one
What to expect
In November most riders wheel the bike into the garage, and in April they wheel it out again convinced they have forgotten half of what they knew. It does not have to work like that.
Why winter is the right time to train
Winter ground is unpleasant, and that is exactly what makes it so useful. Mud and frozen clay will not forgive a fistful of throttle, a grabbed brake or badly timed weight transfer. Learn to ride smoothly here and a dry summer track will feel like a stroll.
What you will be working on
Traction. Almost the whole day comes back to how you meter the throttle and shift your weight so the rear wheel does what it is told. Add braking on a surface with no grip, balance at walking pace and, because it is going to happen, picking a fallen bike up without destroying your back.
Dress properly
We lend you body armour, a helmet, boots and gloves, but bring your own thermals and layers for underneath. There is a warm base to change in, but out on the track February is February.
Our instructors speak English, and the tracks are near Litomyšl in eastern Bohemia, about 2.5 hours from Prague. It is the one enduro training you can still book when everyone else has already put the bike away for the winter.
Itinerary
Bikes, kit, warming up
You bring your own bike or take one of our SWMs, and collect body armour. In winter the first few kilometres are deliberately slow, warming up the tyres and yourself.
Traction on a slippery surface
Mud and frozen clay forgive nothing. You learn to feed in the throttle so the rear wheel works instead of just spinning.
Braking and balance
When the surface will not hold, your technique has to. We drill braking, weight transfer and slow riding with your feet on the pegs.
Picking the bike up, and fatigue
In winter everybody falls. You learn to lift a bike without wrecking your back for the following week.
A plan for the winter
What to practise between sessions so that none of it slips away before spring.

FAQ
What is the minimum age?
You can come to our training and experience rides without a driving licence. The youngest participant of our week-long camp was 11 years old. A licence follows the statutory age limits (A2 from 18, unrestricted A from 24, or from 20 after two years on A2).
Can I manage it if I have never sat on a motorcycle?
Yes. Most people start with us from zero. We begin on a light bike on soft ground, where a fall costs nothing, and build up from there. No previous experience is needed.
Do I need a driving licence?
For off-road training, for the closed race track and for experience rides you do not need a licence, because we ride away from public roads. You only need one where we go out on the road (road tours and expeditions).
Can I hire a motorcycle from you?
Yes. We have the largest BMW test fleet in the Czech Republic and bike hire is part of most courses and expeditions. All bikes are insured with a minimal excess. You are also welcome to come on your own machine.
Do you lend me a motorcycle, or do I have to bring my own?
It differs from service to service. Experience rides: we lend the bikes, you go through five of them during the ride. Off-road training: 5 500 CZK on your own bike, 8 800 CZK with our BMW. Weekend off-road training: 13 000 CZK on your own, 18 000 CZK with our BMW. Private race track training: you ride your own motorcycle, ours can be arranged in advance for an extra charge. Private off-road training: bike hire is included. Expeditions: the bike and all fuel are included.
What should I bring?
Comfortable clothing for the weather, sturdy boots and a willingness to learn. We lend you the protective kit: helmet, gloves, body armour, knee guards and boots.
How much does it cost?
The fixed prices: experience ride on the track and off road 8 899 CZK · off-road training 5 500 CZK on your own bike, 8 800 CZK with our BMW · weekend off-road training 13 000 CZK, or 18 000 CZK with our BMW · private race track training 3 hours for 10 000 CZK, 6 hours for 15 000 CZK · week-long camp 60 000 CZK · tailor-made expedition from 59 000 CZK · motorcycle hire in Spain 4 500 CZK a day. As a rough guide, 25 CZK is about 1 EUR. For the other services the price depends on the date and the option, so write to us and we will send it straight back.
Do I need my own riding kit?
No. On our courses we lend you a helmet, gloves, body armour, knee guards and riding boots. If you have your own kit, bring it. On experience rides protectors are lent by prior arrangement for an extra 500 CZK (approx. 20 EUR).
