Strengths: Trails, climbs, guides, trail food, accomadation, and everything else!
Weaknesses: I had to come home
Overall: 2nd year in a row and the trails keep getting better. Everything from testing climbs to really technical rocky singletrack, keeps you grinning from ear to ear all week. The accomadtion is brilliant and perfect if your travelling as part of a group. Monachil is a gem of a town with great resturants and Granada is only a short ride on the bus for all the Apres MTB activities. Shaun, Csilla and the gang make you feel very welcome. A great trip at a Bargin price!
Strengths: What a week! The best trails i have ridden. Flowing technical singletrack, every kind of terrain. Mind blowing scenery. Shaun is a fantastic guide, tailoring rides to the riders, yet challenging everyone, extremely laid back and friendly. The entire set up is relaxed but very effective for a great holiday.
Weaknesses: None
Overall: Shaun and Csilla go out of their way to ensure a fantastice ride. (Went beyond 'call of duty' to ensure able to ride. Rearranged riding days due to illness, at zero notice, and persuaded a local bike shop to loan me part of a braking system (not in stock to buy) in order to allow me to continue riding my own bike after mechanicals!)
Strengths: Variety of riding - there was very fast/ techinal rocky sections/long climbs/ local mtb tracks with drops and jumps etc etc. Farmhouse great, and could finish every ride in the bar - perfect. Choice of restaurants was good - so social side for 10 of us was great
Strengths: Accommodation is brilliant. I had a GT Avalanche 1.0 as a Hire Bike which was great - very comfy and easy to handle right from the beginning. The Trails are just awesome. Something for everyone. With a guide like Shaun you are well looked after and he knows his stuff. I have started just a few months ago getting into mountain biking, and I do not regret a thing. If you are well looked after like this and get these amazing sandwiches than no climb is to be missed. Remember what goes up comes down. With trails like this you just ask for more.
Weaknesses: Can't think of anything except the fact I need to improve my skills a little. Just need to find the mountains in Scotland for the long climbs ;-))
Overall: Excellent Package, Value for Money. Recommended to anyone - Beginners, Intermediate, Pros alike. Fun and awesome time guaranteed. I'm definitely joining TEAM Psycho again and September is not long ahead ;-)
Strengths: Brilliant location,trails,guiding,accomodation and sandwiches :-)) veggie sarnies with strawberries, lovely.
Weaknesses: My legs, need more strength. My stomach...almost missed days riding!
Overall: Great package. Rides tailored to suit groups abilities and most of all Shaun's guiding was first class. Team Tapas and Team Psycho (turned team snail on Thursday)are planning their next trip already. See you in September!
Strengths: Great rides, great guidance, great accomadation. Its hard to think of anything bad to say. The hospitality from Shaun and Csilla was second to none, as well as providing spot on guidance on the rides we also had a great laugh. The rides got more technical as the week progressed and I can say for certain I returned home an improved rider.
happy days
Weaknesses: Falling off but thats myself to blame for that one!
Strengths: Where to start?! Awe-inspiring scenery, great accommodation (Monachil Villa), mind-blowing trails and the BEST hosts! Shaun even managed to make the sun come out for the entire week. Shaun's guiding and riding skills surpassed expectations (and my abilities!) and he helped improve all our riding skills with simple, well-worked techniques. Both Shaun and his partner Csilla (pronounced 'chilla') made us feel very welcome and went out of their way to ensure we had a great time. Hat off to Csilla's sandwich skills and Shaun's all-round abilities and their laid-back approach. He had his work cut out for him as we were a very mixed ability group of 5 and he managed to keep us all happy with enough challenges for the more advanced yet rideable enough for the beginners. Shaun knows his stuff. I would recommend RideSierraNevada to anyone with a love of bikes and mountains; I will be heading back soon as my budget allows.
Weaknesses: My abilities. Otherwise...none.
Overall: Best activity-based holiday Ive been on. Big thanks Shaun & Csilla. What are you waiting for? Book now!
Strengths: The company was absolutely ideal in terms of size and ability to offer more than a 'standard service'. Shaun and Csilla were happy to go out of their way for us to make it an excellent week. Oh, and the mountains are pretty good too.
Weaknesses: Some of the trails were too technical for me. But I'm a beginner. That's it.
Overall: It's the little things that make the difference. Our group of 5 staying in a top-notch villa in Monachil village, great service and guiding and spectacular scenery combined to make it an awesome week!
Strengths: This is a holiday for people who love everything about mountain biking, technical singletrack up and down, long lung busting climbs, stupid fast descents and epic scenery. The accommodation was excellent and the whole holiday was excellent value for money.
Weaknesses: If you're after 'lift accessed' riding, like Les Gets for example, this probably isn't for you. If you're after 'all day' epics in the hills this is definitely for you.
Overall: A fantastic holiday with riding on a huge variety of terrain from the most technical, rocky, dusty singletrack you can imagine to climbing (3000+m) snow covered peaks!
