Strengths: excellent accomodation, good quality riding covering every aspect from long difficult climbs to super fast downhill single track. good quality advice and tuition to hand all within a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. from the post ride beers (or tea and cake) to the excellent evening meal Jenny and Tim Cater for all tastes, curry night is fantastic.
Weaknesses:
Overall: just returned from my third trip out there with Pure Mountains and having ridden with other companies in the area, pure mountains have the winning fourmula. Can't wait for my next trip out there.Would recommend to anyone who loves mountain biking.
Strengths: Excellent accomodation & hosting, comfortable bed, spectacular location, relaxed homely atmosphere, great food (curry night was the best I've tasted in years), skilled guiding - taking account of each individuals capabilities and energy levels. Good quality well maintained hire bikes. Great trails - plenty of climbs for those who enjoy them, good variety of downhill - fast singletrack, technical rocky sections etc. Cool dogs!
Weaknesses: The food served in-house was so good that the 2 nights out at local restaurants seemed slightly average by comparison. Every plant I crashed into was either spikey or thorny (comes with the territory)...except for the fig tree.
Overall: Exactly what I was looking for - plenty of physical and technical challenge in the biking but with a degree of luxury and relaxation to look forward to in the evenings.
Strengths: Incredible scenery, great tracks and great people.
Weaknesses: Too far from Hong Kong to go regularly
Overall: We had a great time, and the riding was tailored really well to the group. We had a mixed level of ability within our group, yet everyone was challenged and really enjoyed themselves. Recommend this holiday highly, I'd love to go again.
Strengths: Superb, varied riding in a beautiful mountain environment. Stunning, tasteful accomodation. Excellent, well judged guiding.
Weaknesses: None. I really couldn't fault this holiday.
Overall: I was so impressed by every aspect of my week with Jenny and Tim at Pure Mountains. In a group of riders with very varied abilities,all routes were skillfully planned, enabling everyone to really enjoy their days riding. For me this was fast, flowing single track(that goes on and on), blended with absolutely fantastic, very technical descents.For others, it involved easier-going, but still beautiful riding. You will feel looked after - and spoilt. You will stay in beautiful rooms. You will eat delicious food. You will want to return.
Strengths: Great trails, tailored trips, just the right amount of riding per day, landrover uplift if required, excellent food and treats, lovely dogs, great fun, good company, tuition and top tips, good hire bikes and maintenance, hospitality and comfort in the Berchules Hotel was excellent
Weaknesses: can't think of any
Overall: Really fantastic holiday, would recommend it to any mountain biker that likes a bit of pampering after a day's riding!
Strengths: - well organised - lots of good rides (variety of levels) - excellent backup / support - good food and accommodation
Overall: Very good; enjoyable. Some punishing climbs (of course there's the option to do them in the vehicle, but where's the fun in that!) and some great single track downhill. Suitable for most levels of riders. Very enjoyable. Tim and Jenny do a great job. Would definitely recommend them.
Strengths: Varied trails from gnarly switchbacks, flowing singletrack, northshore like paths along watercourses, rocky drops, shingly descents, 1000m climbs (with option to ride in the van if you want!) to breathtaking views (and in Nov we ended up above the snowline!) For the less confident riders a second guide was laid on to escort them over easier terrain and personalised coaching.
Weaknesses: Time passes too quickly and the trip home comes around far too fast
Overall: What an excellent holiday, looked after to the highest standards, fed and watered then transported over the mountains to ride some fabulous and varied trails. No day was the same and each day was tailored to accomodate everyone. The accomodation is v good and you are made to feel very much at home.
