Our trips vary in difficulty but generally they are suited for fit-intermediate (sport level) to expert riders. A fit-intermediate rider is one who can ride 4-plus hours per day, for several days in a row. Inevitably there will be slower and faster riders in each group but from our experience the differences in ability work themselves out: some will simply enjoy the view for a little longer. You will get more enjoyment out of any trip if you are in good physical condition.
Further discussion with us will insure that you choose the trip that suits your level of fitness and are ready for your adventure.

The difficulty of trails depends on the destination and type of trip. You will find detailed descriptions by requesting more information on the trip or by contacting us directly. On all of our trips we set out to feel the freedom of mountain biking, not to scare the participants. We start each trip with a comprehensive riding skills session on less technical trails and progress from there.

Our groups are between 15 and 25 participants, with 2 guides per group and escorted by 4X4 vehicle with few spare mountain bicycles. Our groups are kept consolidated so that we can ensure that every participant is well looked after. Also, with this number, we can give each other space while riding, yet be sure that everyone is on the right track. Participants must be 14 and over, unless accompanied by an adult.

Not included on trips: your personal riding equipment, airfare, insurance of any kind, optional tipping for guides and local staff, excess baggage charges and items of a personal nature: snacks, alcoholic beverages, laundry, etc.
