The Tossers-in-the-Tejeda VI trip is designed for you to ride your own trail bike around some of the best trails in Europe and is based in the village of Competa in Andalucia, southern Spain.

Your bike and riding gear will be transported from the UK to Spain by enclosed van and will be delivered to Competa in time for your arrival on Saturday 12th October. The bikes and gear will be returned to the UK probably on 21th October.

You will need to get yourself to Malaga airport by midday on 12th October from whence you will be taken to the accommodation for the week.

The accommodation will be single rooms in the Gaudi-esque rural hotel Alberdini. The hotel has a bar, restaurant, pool, free wifi and, from the terrace, stunning views as far as the Rif mountains in Morocco. Rooms (all pre-booked) will be from €30 per night including breakfast. Everyone pays their own room, restaurant and bar bill directly to the hotel at the end of the trip.

Bike transport will be by a self-drive hired van. Van loading and unloading will be in north London. Loading will probably be on Wednesday 9 Oct; unloading Monday 21st. Riding gear and luggage can go in the van meaning that you only take hand luggage if flying. All share equally in the costs of bike transport (likely to be around £275 per bike).

Airport transfers will be with a car hired for the week (which we will also use as a runaround when not riding). Again, all costs shared equally (less than £20 each).

This year's trip is limited to 7 places - four of which are already taken.

PMs if you're interested please.

Hi, not sure if I can make this yet but I keep a bike just outside Competa ( I know the Alberdini, cool place and a fantastic view) and would love to swap notes on trails in the area.

cheers
 
I'll be staying at the Alberdini during the first week in June if you're in the manor.

PS - there's still places available on the October trip if anyone is interested.
 
Hi Greg,

How much trail riding experience do you realistically need? Since I have little, would I be ok.

Hi Greg,

The riding varies. Mostly it's pretty easy but there might be a few short sections that are a little more challenging. Have a look at previous ride reports (search 'tejeda').

What bike would you be on?

An update:

The runners and riders so far are:

  • Me
  • bandit
  • MrTickle
  • Suffolk (or is he now Norfolk? I'm sure he's one of the fucks)
  • Wreford Miles
  • Wapping

Two others are in the wings working out their domestic affairs.

Wreford has decided to ride his HP2 to/from Spain meaning that there's room in the van for one more bike.

PMs, please, from any interested parties.

I've figured it out leave at 16:00 and ride 400 including the taking the tunnel to LeMans - let says 6 hours on a good day.

Wake early the next day and get away by 6:00 then it's a nice little 1000 blast - 14 hours on a good day so arrive between 20:00 -22:00

Easy'ish
