'THE BEST RIDING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!'
Strengths:
Fast long singletrack descents everyday, good food and fantastic hosts.
Weaknesses:
None, absolutely none!
Overall:
After reading Wills review I can second that this really is just like being at your mates house. If you're into big rides and are prepared to be out for the day - ALL DAY then you'll not find a better gang to go with than these lunatics!

'1 WEEK OF GREAT FUN! I CANT WAIT FOR NEXT TIME!'
Strengths:
The guides, simon and Ryan's enthusiasm for bikes is amazing and they have the skills to match. you will learn to be better on a bike by the end of the holiday.

If you only have one holiday this year make sure its this. you will love it. If you dont well then there is something wrong with you.

'ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT FOR ANYONE WHO CAN RIDE A BIKE!'
Strengths:
The whole team (Simon, Emma, Ryan and Eoin) made us feel really welcome yet again. The rides are as good as ever, with new routes added all the time. The rides are chosen to match the group's ability - but with a little bit of challenge thrown in!
Weaknesses:
Falloffalot the cat - although he doesn't look like he'll last that long if Oscar has his way!
Overall:
I've just got back to dreary old UK after a week's fantastic riding amongst stunning scenery in sublime weather.
This was my 4th trip with Freeridespain, and I'll certainly be back. Cheers.

'FANTASTIC! A WEEK OF MIND-BLOWING SINGLETRACK!'
Strengths:
THE most fantastic riding ever! Miles and miles and miles of awesome singletrack - flowing, smooth, rocky, technical, switchbacks, drops - you name it, it's there!

Emma, Simon & Eoin - very friendly, helpful & generally welcoming; couldn't have asked any more of them.

Guiding - at a pace perfectly suited to our group and always leading to the best trails.

Food & accomodation - tasy food, plenty of it & great accomodation.
Weaknesses:
Having to come home afterwards!
Overall:
Don't think about it, just go, you won't regret it!

'AWESOME!'
Strengths:
The guiding, the riding and hospitality and cost.
Weaknesses:
Me, and having to come home :(
Overall:
Simon and Eoin ride the most battered bikes you can imagine (Eoins bike has a dent in the top tube big enough to park a car in) and Simon rides a kineses maxlite which has taken such a hammering over the past two years it's truly amazing it's still alive! But believe me, these guys can RIDE!
Freeridespain is a bit like Colorado but better because it's closer, cheaper and the trails are more varied. They have very nice, new accomodation which was really comfy. Last year it was a bit basic!
They need to charge more because what you get is not what you'd expect for only £300! GREAT value for money. You've got to give these guys a go. GO! (Sorry, couldn't help it!)
