'XC PARADISE IN THE SIERRA NEVADA MOUNTAINS'

Overall:
Great service from start to finish. Shaun knows a wide variety of trails, from long climbs to fast flowing single track through the forests. Routes were tailored to the riders on the day. And delicious sandwiches as well ! Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting some concentrated biking in the autumn sun.

'FANTASTIC TRAILS WITH LOADS OF VARIETY '

Overall:
Located in the beautiful Sierra Nevadas the whole package (trails, accommodation and village) are fantastic. The trails are a good mixture of climbs and fast or technical descents as well as flowing undulating single track. All rideable on a hardtail, but they would be equally fun on a full sus. The accommodation is very comfortable and well maintained with views over the surrounding village and hills.

'PACKED DAYS, EPIC RIDES AND SUPERB GUIDE'

Strengths:
The available routes will match all fitness and capability levels. Shaun, the guide was fantastic and truly understands the routes and the people riding them. All very welcoming. Great facilities accomodation wise and in the town.

Weaknesses:
None that I could find!

Overall:
Shaun was exactly what you'd expect from a MTB leader and more, huge days, huge smiles and some very fine sandwiches which keep you going. Would I go back? Hell yeah!

'FANTASTIC RIDING'

Strengths:
No early morning starts :-)
Great accommodation, solid guiding and fab trails. Shaun even took us to the fledgling bike park to play on the jumps (sorry Shaun). You will come back fitter, stronger, happier and a better rider. The best riding - up, down and along - that I have ever done...

Weaknesses:
No early morning starts?!
A friendly bit of advice rather than a weakness; there are some easy trails but to get the best out of what is on offer you do need to be fairly fit and confident on your bike.

Overall:
The original plan was to take a guidebook and find the trails ourselves. Glad we didn't. Shaun showed us trails we could never have found. Even the trails that are in the guidebooks are not always on the maps. Highly recommended.

'AWESOME HOLIDAY'

Strengths:
Stess Free.... Shaun is laid back. Nothing is a bother. It was our holiday and he suggested what we could ride and left it up to us to decide. Shaun's knowledge of the local beer was also helpfull!!!

Weaknesses:
None

Overall:
It is weird to say but it was a relaxing active mountainbiking holiday. Awesome single track with breathtaking views.
Our last day was great started in the snow at 1650m and ended in the sun at 700m in the village just in time for lunch.
Csilla really is a 5 star sandwich maker.
We will be back to try some more of these natural trails. Stewart
