MOTORCYCLE RIDES, TOURS, TRACK DAYS AND RIDING COURSES IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE
Since 2021, Thierry Troadec, FFM-qualified riding coach and motorcycle guide, and the whole #MONKEYPRORIDER biker family have been helping riders of every level ride more often, more confidently and with even more enjoyment.
FOUR WAYS TO ENJOY MOTORCYCLING
Every rider is different, so #MONKEYPRORIDER offers four complementary experiences: from a one-day ride to a long road trip, from the track to the open road.
ASSOCIATION RIDES
One-day group rides from Montpellier, Nîmes and Béziers, planned by a professional guide and supervised by volunteer marshals. Around 250 km of great roads.
GUIDED TOURS AND ROAD TRIPS
From 3 to 18 days in France, Europe, Morocco and Senegal: back roads, accommodation booked for you and a qualified professional guide.
TRACK DAYS
One-to-one coaching, pillion rides, bike and gear hire, at the Pôle Mécanique in Alès and the Lédenon circuit.
ROAD RIDING COURSES
Improve your riding on your own motorcycle, on the private and secure site of the Col de la Cardonille, over one or two days.
GUIDED MOTORCYCLE TOURS
WE ARE #ROULEURS – WE LOVE TO RIDE
Our road trips are all about riding, bends and scenery: carefully chosen back roads and very few museum or castle visits. You enjoy your bike, the guide takes care of the rest.
– From 3 to 18 days: long weekends, 8-day tours or grand crossings
– France, Europe, Morocco and Senegal
– Accommodation booked and logistics handled for you
– A qualified professional guide who adapts the pace to the group
– A pillion seat behind the guide for passengers travelling without their own rider
Tours are organised by the #MONKEYPRORIDER association, which holds official travel agency status: Atout France registration, UNAT financial guarantee and professional travel liability insurance.
TRACK DAYS
THE TRACK, OPEN TO EVERYONE
With no traffic and no obstacles, a circuit is the best place to understand your motorcycle: body position, vision, lines and braking. Beginner or experienced rider, the coaching adapts to your level.
– Track coaching: body position, lines, braking and personal advice
– Pillion ride: feel the thrill of track riding behind a qualified rider
– Track bike and gear hire, on request to the coach
– Pôle Mécanique in Alès and the Lédenon circuit, as well as Barcelona and Alcarràs
Since 2022: around a hundred coaching sessions and a thousand pillion rides.
ROAD RIDING COURSES
RIDE BETTER, ON YOUR OWN MOTORCYCLE
Your licence is only the beginning. With an FFM-qualified coach, you work on what really makes a rider progress: body position, vision, braking, cornering and lines, anticipation.
– Exercises on the private and secure site of the Col de la Cardonille, then practice on the road
– One-day course or two-day immersion
– Adventure, roadster, touring, sports or custom bike: the course adapts to your motorcycle
“This course is not about learning to ride faster. It is about learning to ride better.”
THE #MONKEYPRORIDER ASSOCIATION
RIDING TOGETHER, IN A FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE
