Hi,
It looks like I might be able to get some time off work in May/June and both myself and the wife are looking to go abroad for some early sun and dusty trails. We are both good riders although we would like to go somewhere with flow rather than pure tech. We were thinking of finale Ligure but would prefer a package deal if anyone could recommend a company? Alternatively considering Spain. Riding trail/enduro bikes.
If anyone has any suggestions that would be awesome!
Ciclo Montana - if they have spaces left.
Plenty of flow and certainly dusty and rocky trails, and great value. What’s not to like.
We have been to Finale for the last four years as our end of year trip and to watch our daughter in the EWS. Always had guiding with Finale Freeride and cant fault them, we will be going back later this year. The riding is awesome, the food is great and cheap ant the atmosphere for the EWS electric.
Last year we combined it by going to Ainsa in the Spanish Pyrenees, couldn't organise guiding as it was all booked up so got the excellent trail map and went exploring, had a great time and left with an itch that will need to be scratched so its penciled in for a longer visit at some point.
The area is a lot quieter than Finale and misses the sea if thats what you are looking for.
You wont go far wrong with either
Link to the guy who has moved out will give you a better idea
me and the good lady are heading to Norway at the end of may. loads of tough offroad stuff there.
Brussels seems to be the city of choice.
Scotland. It'll be quiet, the midges won't be out, and the weather is often quite nice at that time of year.
A bit technical riding wise but otherwise fits the bill is Pure Mountains in the Sierra Nevada. Went last year and loved it. Run by a UK couple Tim and Jenny and to be honest if I can do it then anyone can! Interestingly they had been in Ainsa and reckon its pretty awesome so thats the plan for later this year
No midges in may? Haha!
Ciclo Montana, bloody brilliant.
Tap JT up at ride Slovenia
Rivierabike Molini. Great trails, empty, great variety, love the Molini locals and the grappa 🙂
