Mountain Biking Journeys
If you’re looking for an authentic mountain biking adventure then one of our place-to-place cross-country style journeys are the place to start. Travelling through remote areas under your own power means we get a fantastic appreciation for the wilderness that we are exploring. Along the way we’ll be seeking out the best singletrack on offer, but the riding will be a mixture of trail types and surfaces all leading us to where we need to be. You’ll need to be in good shape for many of these trips and a lightweight bike in good condition is essential.
In the UK the Sandstone Way in Northumberland and our Highlands Coast to Coast tour in Scotland both showcase the very best of UK mountain biking. In Europe our Spanish offering includes the Trans Picos and Trans Andaluz, whilst in Italy the epic Sardinian Transardata offers superb riding. For those looking to travel even further afield for their journey, Morocco the Atlas Traverse is the perfect choice.
