Join us for a spectacular trip in beautiful Sierra Nevada and the Spanish “Badlands”.

If you have never heard of the Spanish Badlands, think of the American West, with huge rock formations and dusty mountainous trails.

We are running this trip at the end of May / early June, to avoid the high temperatures that this region experiences later in the summer.

Besides the amazing riding, you can dream of perfect tapas, devine Rioja wine and fabulous, friendly towns and villages where we will stay and ride.

The riding will suit anyone who has done some training and enjoys riding in the mountains. You don’t need to be fast, as we have support in place to ride with you and we’ll also have a vehicle on hand to top up drinks and snacks (when not riding off road sections).

We will start our tour in the World Heritage City of Granada. If you haven’t been before, it’s a treat waiting to be discovered. It sits at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, which top out at 3400m.

What’s Needed:

Fitness

Riding in the mountains is tough and we create our tours to ensure maximum levels of achievement which comes hand in hand with maximum physical exertion. For this reason we recommend a decent level of fitness and motivation. We will happily create routes for any level of fitness and experience so if you have any concerns please feel free to contact us, together we can come up with the best possible options to suit your needs.

Bike

For these tours we suggest that you bring your own bike. While we can advise you on hiring a bike in Spain, it is generally better that you have your own. You need to be comfortable on your bike for long periods of time.

Some of the rides on this trip will be through remote areas where finding a bike shop will be difficult at best, so please ensure that your bike is ready to ride this type of environment and you have suitable spares with you.

Helmet

We expect you to wear a helmet at all times while riding.

Clothing

Please bring appropriate clothing. The climbs can be hot but the long, fast descents can get cold especially if you are damp from the hard climb. Extra layers can be kept in the support vehicle so that you don’t have to carry them but please ensure that you bring good quality kit.

It is also advisable to bring good sun protection.
