          Cross Country Cycling Holidays

          Cross-country journeys have always been the heart and soul of Saddle Skedaddle mountain biking. Available throughout the UK, Europe and further afield, these are rewarding place-to-place tours that explore remote and spectacular wilderness, taking in the best trails on offer. Travelling by bike takes us away from the crowds and is the perfect way to soak up the real character of these amazing environments. As with all of our trips, this range caters to all levels of fitness, skill and MTB experience, all you have to do is pick the right journey for you!

          There are many journeys to choose from ranging from popular UK classics such as the Sandstone Way and Highlands C2C, an epic bike ride through Spain known as the Ruta de la Plata, or for the really adventurous souls check out our off-the-beaten track tour, Wild Patagonia.

          Saddle Skedaddle staff were excellent. Consistently high standards delivered year on year. Don't think I'd trust anybody else when booking a cycling holiday!

          This was the best of the several organised bike tours I've been on by light years, and I'm now looking at doing other tours with Skedaddle.

          Everything about the Skedaddle operation was spot-on, great attention to detail both before and during the trip. I was impressed by all things on the trip, quality of food, route briefings, accommodation, maps. I could go on!

          What one pays for is not having to worry about anything – and Skedaddle does an excellent job taking care of us. We haven’t tried the other tour companies but why bother when Skedaddle is top notch.
