An Introduction to Mountain Biking Worldwide

Through continued research and reconnaissance, we have unrivalled worldwide collection of custom-made mountain biking holidays continues to expand. Whether your preference is for breathless high altitude cranking on the Tibetan Plateau or more leisurely cruising on Costa Rica's Pacific Ocean Beaches, you will find the trip of your dreams within the pages of this brochure. As well as offering superb biking, including tough climbs, endless descents, technical singletrack and more relaxed road sections, each of these holidays has been chosen to provide a brilliant travel experience. Genuine exploration, but without the hardship, our aim is to provide real mountain biking in some of the most outlandish places on earth. With our experienced support teams and vehicle back-up, these adventures are accessible to everyone and, what's more, you will only be carrying normal day-ride kit. For the coming year, the first 2 of several interesting developments to our biking programme are in the French Alps. Here, we propose to run the Tour of Mont Blanc as an 8-day bike trip and have also devised an entertaining freeride week centred on the ski towns of Morzine and Chamonix.  At the eastern end of Europe, our first Turkish bike trip will make a relatively leisurely exploration of the outrageous landscapes of Cappadocia. Further afield, our revised and revitalised Bolivian biking trip has a distinctly downhill emphasis, as we make full use of jeeps to take us above 5000 metres. Our final exciting new trip for this year, which has been put together by our resident Kiwi, Matt Reedy, is a whistle-stop tour of the singletrack highlights of New Zealand's South Island.  From 1-week to 4 weeks, from Europe and Africa to Asia and the Americas, our range of mountain bike trips is the finest currently being offered.
