Tailormade trips and raids: for groups and clubs from 10 participants onwards



Pyrenees Coast to Coast (3/3): this was in the mid-nineties our very first mountain bike raid, and after 15 consecutive years we take this year a sabbatical. In 2012 this raid will again be programmed for individual subscriptions, but we can still organize it in 2011 tailormade for groups. Our CTC spans nearly 1.200 km (800 miles) from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, without any doubt one of the heaviest raids in Europe and an absolute must for die-hard bikers.


Sierra Nevada (3/2) : appointment on the slopes of Spain’s highest mountain range, in view of Granada. We bike a gigantic 5 day loop along and over the slopes of the Sierra and return through the Alpujarras to Granada. The last day is “singletrack heaven” high above Granada. Truly beautiful raid for seasoned bikers, technically and physically sturdy !


The Pyrenees Coast to Coast - original version (3/2) which we biked for ten years : less technical than the new CTC, but still a fantastic and physically exacting biking raid. Almost entirely bikeable.


UK Coast to Coast (3/3) : a crazy raid from the Irish Sea through the Cumbrian Mountains, the Lake District, the Pennines, along Hadrian's wall, through Kielder Forest and the Cheviotts down to the frigid shores of the North Sea. The very best of what England has to offer to tough and experienced mountain bikers.


La Ruta del Cid (3/1) : 1200 km (800 miles) in the footsteps of one of Europe's most famous knights, through Spain's interior and the mountains of the Sistema Ibérico. A great way to experience the unknown central Spain ! We string the nature reserves together and stay for almost 500 km above 1000 m of altitude... In 2011 only bookable tailormade for groups, but in 2012 again scheduled for individual subscriptions !! With a couple of sublime improvements...


Copper Canyon, Mexico (3/1) : canyons vaster and deeper than the Grand Canyon in the USA, a secluded tribe of Indians travelling exclusively on foot over a spectacular network of tracks and singletracks... We alternate between days of 100% singletrack at 2.400 m of altitude and spectacular, fast descents into the canyon. Sub Alpine climate on the high plain, sub tropical 2.000 m lower at the bottom ! A super raid which immerses you in a completely different culture. The only raid in which we bike as a group and not on GPS.


Biking Navarra (2/2) : this is our most popular raid in the three natural parks in and around Navarra. We spend two days in each of these impressive landscapes. Rendez-vous in the enchanted Sierra de Urbasa y Andia, past the French border across the Pyrenees mountains.


And of course halves of our CTC or Cid raids on a single week instead of two. Any of our raids in the fixed date programme can of course be booked by groups on a different date, or with only a “best of” over a long weekend, or in combination with cultural visits or other sports.
