Daithi,
do you have details for that chap you were on about who has the trail riding in Portugal.

To the rest of ye, anybody have interest in a long weekend trail riding in either spain or portugal sometime in August?

Ed, I'd love to but August is a bit ambitious - need to let the dust settle after all the stuff in July ;)
Being Spain / Portugal I reckon Sept / Oct would be still dry / warm enough.

I know AR14 was over there late last year & really enjoyed it. Maybe he'd tell us who he used :nenau
 
My mate Lyndon runs www.torotrail.co.uk

I went in September last year an the weather was spot on. It's in the hills at the back of Marbella an only 20 mins from Malaga airport, I'm going over in early October.

My mate does run this one so you could say I'm biased, but from what I can gather from speaking to lads that have been on these 'Fly in, ride trail bikes' type holidays, they are all the same thing really (A trail bike,some trails, nice views and good weather) but the thing that make the difference are the people that run them and the transfer time to and from the airport.
Torotrail is closer to the airport than the rest of the companies running this type of thing out in Spain and Lyndon always takes his clients out during the evenings to either local restaurants or down to Marbella to splash some cash!

Also, you get to have lunch at the Marbella Gun Club (a posh country club up in the hills that is the retreat of the rich and famous) and the look on peoples faces when 10 dirty bikes ride in over the hills, park up and then sit in full MX gear on the terrace is priceless...:D

Thanks AR,
Yeah i was thinkinh the same about the transfer distance, as wtih most of the others i looked at u need to rent a car and so on. So i reckon its a winner. Now on to more important questions, is there discounts to be had? :)
 
Don't know, I'll ask him if he has a special GSer rate!

Send me your email address

While yer at it send it to me as well Ed, AR14's option seems to check all the boxes.

Booked In

Just spoke to Lyndon and myself and the missus are all booked in for the 22nd August. Looking forward to it now :)
Thanks for the advice guys.
 
Well folks,
just back from our weekend, and i have to say the most fun i have had on 2 wheels, it was out first time on anything off road and the first 1 hour was fairly scary but after a couple of km;s into it our confidence wa up and the fun began :)
you were spot on andrew when u said its the people that make it, jon and paul were dead sound and it really made it for us, lyndon wasnt about on the weekend. i hear you set a blistering time around the course :)
anyways thanks for the reccomendation, will be going back in oct myself :)
 
Well ..........

:postpics

Sounds like you had a ball !! :clap
 
Nice one, glad you had a good time.

I'm off there in October for a good spin around the mountains and to try an beat me time round the Canyon Course.
 
I can vouch for ToroTrail too. Lyndon is a good lad.

I will be back this year I hope.

Picture Gallery pic 1,3,4 and 7 have my old mug in them I've just noticed! Just so you know, that was taken during February!

Its a welcome break from the s****y weather here during the Winter.
