Anyone used Trailblazers or Redtread?

[Ex-Call Centre Chimp]

I have a weeks annual leave booked for w/c 23/2/15 & am planning a quick fly in-out to southern Spain to hire a bike & do a couple of guided trail days.
I picked up a couple of brochures at the NEC this week & the cost of hotel/food/bikes/gear/TP insurance etc comes in at around £425.

The brochures I picked up were for http://www.trailblazers-pro.com/ & http://www.redtread.com/

Anyone used either of them or able to suggest recommended alternatives please?

Considering one of these outfits for a few days next spring - any feedback from people who have been would be appreciated.

Knowing both and knowing where they ride, I booked Trailblazers when I rode there in June this year.

Had a cracking few days with Riders of the Lost Trail a few years back. Brilliant trails and fantastic service. Had a slight " mishap " and couldn't have been looked after any better.
www.ridersofthelosttrail.com/ Even had myself on his gallery having problems staying on the bike

All useful stuff, thanx Comrades.
I've been in touch with 2 or 3 companies and we will probably go with Traiblazers.

The plan is to fly in on Monday 23rd Feb, out on Thursday 26th, trail riding on Tuesday & Weds 24th & 25th.

It's looking like the whole thing is going to come in under budget at around £450 + evening meals and drinks.

Definitely Redtread

Been. Went in February but thank you for your feedback.

I know you have been Keith but I just wanted to comment for other folk that maybe looking for the same info. I have been with both companies and Redtread is far superior. The bikes are quality and they don't charge for breakages as mentioned above anymore. The bikes graham runs are a pile of poorly held together shite. You get what you pay for and Redtread maybe a tad more expensive but it's worth it. For me there is no better choice.

A few of us have just been with Offroad Orange, very professional with well maintained bikes and kit. good hotel and a good laugh had by all.
Highly recommended. I think you can get a discount if you're a TRF member too.
