Last May Karin and I had a great time helping our American friends Al and Ardy with their motor scooter club tour. It was so popular and successful in that inaugural year that they have expanded the program for 2010.

The greatest addition is a series of competitive rallies. Called ScooterGiro Cyclades, it is a competitive Time, Speed, Distance road rally, conducted in the spirit and traditions of classical road rallies. Participants will ride three measured distance courses on Paros and three on Naxos. There will be trophies for each island as well for the combined Cyclades Champion.

Visitors can buy a package tour including accommodation and some meals; locals can enter the competition on their home island. Scooter enthusiasts who want to enjoy the Greek islands without competition are welcome as well. For all the details or to contact the organisers see their web site: http://www.scootergiro.com/

This event reinforces my belief that whatever your interest: Do It Better on Paros!

P.S. Al and Ardy are also putting together an Italian ride in June featuring a Vespa factory tour. More Here
