Rider Soul continues to expand its calendar and consolidate a different way of understanding motorcycle tourism events. The organization has announced two new dates for October 2026, with two events in Guadalajara and Albaida, Valencia, which will allow its philosophy to be brought closer to motorcyclists from different parts of the Peninsula.
The first event will be held on October 3 in Guadalajara, while the second will take place on October 24 at the Albaida Circuit. Registration for both editions is now open, and the first 200 participants who formalize their place will be able to benefit from a special price.
The announcement confirms the evolution of a project that has found its space within the motorcycle calendar thanks to a proposal far from traditional competition. Rider Soul does not propose a race or a speed test. There is no timer, classifications or pressure to reach the goal before the rest of the participants. The real objective is to enjoy the road, correctly interpret the navigation and complete a route designed to generate a complete experience on the motorcycle.
From collecting the bib to the delivery of the finisher’s diploma, each phase of the event is planned so that the participant is part of a day in which the biker atmosphere has as much weight as the kilometers themselves. The organization seeks for those registered to discover new roads, share the route with other fans and be surprised by different crossing points and activities.
Guadalajara will be the next stop for Rider Soul
The October 3 edition will take Rider Soul to Guadalajara, a province especially suitable for developing this type of routes due to the variety of its landscapes and the abundance of secondary roads.
The specific route has not yet been announced, but the organization will maintain the rider’s usual approach. Participants must follow the itinerary prepared by the team, locate the different crossing points and manage navigation throughout the day.
The key will not be in completing the route in the shortest time possible, but in interpreting it correctly and enjoying each section. It is a philosophy that completely changes the way of approaching this type of encounter. Instead of constantly looking at the clock, the motorcyclist can concentrate on the driving, the landscape and the succession of roads selected by the organization.
The design of the routes will once again have the participation of Gustavo Cuervo, responsible for contributing his experience as a route commissioner and a deep connoisseur of motorcycle tourism. Its role is especially important within a format that is not limited to linking roads, but aims to build itineraries with their own identity.
The selection of routes, landscapes and crossing points is based on previous work aimed at ensuring that each edition has personality. The objective is to avoid impersonal routes or routes created solely to add kilometers. Each section must contribute something to the whole day and help the participant finish the route with the feeling of having had a different experience.
Albaida will take the Rider Soul experience to Valencia
After Guadalajara, the calendar will continue on October 24 at the Albaida Circuit, in Valencia. This second call will allow the format to be transferred to the Levantine environment and take advantage of the variety of roads that the area offers.
The location opens the door to routes that can combine inland areas, mountain roads and landscapes near the coast. The organization has not yet detailed the final route or the exact point from which the route will begin, although it has announced that it will soon communicate all the practical information.
Among the pending details are the activations planned during the delivery of numbers, the prior briefing, the schedules and the rest of the necessary instructions for the participants. As in previous editions, these moments will be part of the experience and will serve to generate the atmosphere before even starting the motorcycles.
Both Guadalajara and Albaida represent two important steps in the growth of Rider Soul. The intention of the project is to bring this concept to different areas of the Peninsula without altering the elements that have defined its identity from the beginning: well-maintained routes, navigation, absence of competition and a community of motorcyclists who understand the trip as something more than moving from one point to another.
Registration open for the two October appointments
Registrations for Guadalajara and Albaida are now available, although part of the details of both calls will be communicated later. The organization has launched a promotion for the first 200 registrants, who will be able to access a special price.
This initiative aims to reward those who ensure their participation in advance and facilitate the planning of two days that are presented as an opportunity to close the 2026 motorcycle tourism season.
Rider Soul also wanted to thank the participants and collaborators who have supported the project since its first editions for their trust. The response received so far has allowed us to extend the calendar and propose a new stage of expansion towards different autonomous communities.
Rider Soul is already preparing a complete calendar for 2027
Rider Soul’s growth will not end with the two October events. The organization has already confirmed several locations for 2027, with the aim of turning the project into a regular presence within the national calendar.
The first planned call will be held in February in Cartagena, Murcia. In April, Rider Soul plans to return to Madrid coinciding with Madrid X Moto, although this date is still pending confirmation.
The calendar will continue in May with an appointment in Honrubia, Cuenca, before moving to Aguilar de Campoo, in Palencia, in July. Guadalajara will be part of the program again in October 2027.
With these first confirmations, Rider Soul shows its intention to build a stable program spread across different parts of Spain. A project designed for motorcyclists who prefer to measure a day by the uncovered roads, the landscapes crossed and the moments shared, instead of by the time taken to reach the finish line.
