Without doubt, one of the best ways to meet new mountain bikers (or perhaps have a reunion!) is to join us on our weekend breaks. Fantastic riding for all abilities, some hints and tips if required and a guaranteed cracking good time… and all for £95!
We’ve organised good pub and local B&B for two nights accommodation, evening meals for the Saturday night, plus guides/mechanics to ensure a smooth weekend. Additionally, for those travelling long distances we will gladly arrange rail/transfers to and from the venue, saving you the hassle of a long drive and leaving you stress free and raring to go!
Upgrades to better accommodation can be requested at certain venues subject to availability. if in doubt contact us as we know each venue inside out!
These weekends are a great way to meet some of our guides and past guests who can tell you first hand about our trips worldwide. We can answer any queries you may have about accommodation abroad, fitness, terrain, the bikes, and the likely travelling partners.
**Please note the Easter and August Bank Holiday long weekend’s are for 4 nights B&B and Sat and Sun. evening meals & cost £215
