Just back from an ace week biking in italy with these guys. ..all very last minute but was really good. Did 5 very hard days of freeriding with a bunch of cool chaps from bury. Cheap booze/food and just beautiful country... Thanks Jo and Ady for looking after me...

Oooo I'm thinking about going with these guys: Did you do the shuttle/freeride package? How was it? What sort of bike did you take?

Yep I did a few climbs but not many... Uplifts most days. I took a five pro but a set of 36s and a full face lid would be a prerequisite( I dented my new xar) a lot of over the bar type issues.... Was totally ace!

Cool. I have an SX Trail I would probably be taking.

What was the accommodation like? Was it fairly social?

Sorry about all the Qs :mrgreen:

Just how "hard" are the days?
Food ok? People nice?
How much cash did you get through?

Hotel was very good,5 courses a night.people are really friendly...
I found it very tough but I've not ridden much this year so hence the rustiness.. I feel a bit fitter which is good! https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=mtbste&target=ALBUM&id=5757690715493745185&authkey=Gv1sRgCMuo7OPq6srBPw&feat=email
