Is this the right trip for me?
If you’re looking for a winter-friendly destination with almost guaranteed dusty trails year-round, focused on enduro and DH riding, this trip fits the bill.
Riders of mixed abilities join solo or in groups to ride great trails in the Spanish sun. The terrain is rocky and technical, often in high alpine, remote locations. You need good trail awareness and be comfortable handling basic bike issues on the hill. This isn’t a bike park holiday. We ride natural trails, some with exposure in places.
The trails aren’t usually steep, but may included steeper chutes. It’s a social, group based holiday and a solid way to meet like minded riders.
You don’t need to be a pro, but this also isn’t a first ride trip.
Uplifts at Ride Southern Spain
Uplifts are provided by minibus or 4×4 with bike trailer. The goal is to maximise the number of uplifts each day within operating hours. You’ll be uplifted to multiple summits with little to no pedalling required.
Riders load and secure their own bikes. Bikes remain the rider’s responsibility.
There are no scheduled lunch stops to maximise ride time, unless the group requests one.
Guided riding at Ride Southern Spain
Your 7 day trip includes 5 days of fully guided riding on technical trails. Each day of riding you will be based in a different trail network within a maximum of 1.30 minutes drive from the villa.
Uplifted shuttles are provided, guides adapt routes and pace to suit the group.
Rider ability
Trails are predominantly rocky and technical.
You MUST be comfortable riding UK black graded trail centre routes or red graded bike park trails
If you’re unsure whether this trip is right for you, or you’d like to request weeks with more or less experienced riders, contact us to discuss before booking.
