Your week will include 5 to 6 days of riding averaging 3,000m climbing on fire road and between
10,000m to 17,000m of descending ALL ON SINGLETRACK. If you would like a day off we can organise paragliding, gorge
running or trips to the beach or Granada.
Example Days
´L´Plate includes 'L', The Million Dollar Trail, Pooh Corner &
Moody French B@stard.
Climb from the door on road/ fire road for 40mins. Pad up at the top and drop
your saddles before descending on a 6km flowing, bermed singeltrack which
gets steadily more rocky as you go down. Another 15min climb before heading
back down on probably the fastest funnest singletrack you will ever ride.
Still more descending takes you down to the bar for cold beers and tapas
where the waiting van will take you back up to the casa. An all-day ride
encompassing about 1,600m of descending.
´57 Switchbacks´ (actually 68) includes 57 SBs, Finn´s Fiend, 48 Stitches and Head Dab.
Load up the van which takes you up to the one and only big climb of the day.
From the top descend for the rest of the day on a combination of steep
switchbacks and long rock gardens totalling nearly 2,300m of vertical
descent. An awesome day which will leave you battered but very, very smiley.
Finish at the bar for more cold beers and tapas then load up the van for the
lift back to base.
