M+M Bike Adventures - mountain biking holidays

Active Adventure

The mountian biking routes are for the keen, fit and up for a challenge type of person. Stamina and ability to cope with technical routes are good attributes. This area has some of the best mountain biking routes in the country. From Dry river beds to high Moorish mule tracks (formerly trade route from village to village), some 1000metres above sea level.

Typical Day

Leave the Pension around 10 am. After a short warm up around the narrow village streets we have heart pumping climbs, followed by stunning scenic undulating traverses on a mixture of forestry trails and singletrack, then blow your mind with awesome decents, some broad and fast others tough and technical. A picnic lunch is normally taken on the mountain. Returning back to base around 4pm in time to sink a beer or two and enjoy our hospitality and home cooked evening meals
