I'm looking for a week-long mountain biking holiday package that will include accommodation, food and guiding. I'm mainly looking to ride fast technical natural trails. Some uplift would be nice.

I'm planning to go in late-September-November, so I'm looking to go somewhere with a warm, stable climate like Spain or Italy.

My budget is £400-500, excluding flights.

Had a really good trip with [url=

Slovenia[/url] last year. Great riding and guiding from John, quiet trails, very cheap beer, lovely pizza and ice cream.

Also had 2 really good trips with [url= http://ridesierranevada.com/ ]Ride Sierra Nevada[/url]. Loads of great trails, lovely quiet village - Monachil, excellent guiding from Shaun and co, amazing sandwiches from Czilla!

Both have some uplift and some pedalling - a good mix.

Have a look at www.basquemtb.com. We have been out a few times and Doug and Antonio make sure you will have a great trip tailored to your riding ability and what you want.

Plus the food and drink had to be seen to be believed. I love the place and the riding obviously 🙂

We are based right on the beach with plenty of Winter sun to enjoy.
Stunning singletrack rides with plenty of bus uplift during the day & fun après-bike on the coast at night.
Just 510 Euros for a packed week!

Go see Marco and Jacqui at Ciclo Montana. As I and others have said, God knows how they do it for the money!. Awesome folk, like going riding with good friends from day one.

We have also been out with Ride Sierra Nevada twice before, great setup and fantastic riding. Well worth it and should be nice at that time of year.
They put an enduro on this year taking in a couple of the trails, it was really fun as well.

Another vote for Switch-backs.com from me. I've been 10+ times with them and each time has been progressively better.

I'm there in October with a group. The van uplifts really make a difference for me. I can climb lots in the UK so I prefer to spend my days descending rather than slogging up climbs.
