Special Weeks |

This season we are going to offer some ’special’ weeks as a trial. We will run these weeks with low numbers which will let us tailor them better to each guest. Depending on how these weeks are received we will look at putting on extra weeks throughout next season and into 2011.
From initial interest we expect these places to fill up fast to book up early to avoid missing out! We will announce dates but will put on further weeks if demand is strong enough so please get in touch if the initial dates don’t suit.

Skills Week – Sunday 2nd of May – 9th of May
uk-bike-skills I’m really excited about this week already! We have teamed up with UK Bike Skills run by Tony ‘Jedi’ Doyle to offer a week of skills training in the Basque Country. If you want to know more about Tony then check out his site UK Bike Skills
The riding in this area is two things; it is generally quite tricky and it’s hugely varied! This lends itself perfectly to a week of skills training, allowing us to work on lots of different areas of your riding. We can guarantee that this week will have you riding faster and smoother and with more confidence than ever before! Of course we won’t just be working on skills all the time, there will be plenty of time both to just ride and also discuss what you’ve learned and review the photos and videos over some great food and drink!
The first skills week will be offered at the bargain price of €750. That included everything that our standard package does with the addition of expert tuition from UK Bike Skills on 5 full days. We will probably do a bit more uplift than normal too depending on what we are working on.
Group sizes will be kept small and places are limited so please book early to avoid disappointment.

‘Freeride’ Week
We always offer uplifted rides, starting higher than we finish, however this week uses a dedicated uplift driver and van. We will still do some climbing becuase of course all the best trails don’t start right next to the road but it will be very limited. We have a selection of everything from specially built DH trails with berms and jumps to totally natural trails so we will pick and choose between the two to ensure a good mix through the week. Expect to do around 25,000m’s descending over the week with around 500m’s climbing.  (A normal XC week takes in around 6,000m’s of climbing with around 8,500m’s of descending!).  For this first week the numbers will be limited to 6 to allow me to ensure that everyone gets the most out the week. This first uplift week will be offered at the price of €700 and includes everything that our standard package does with the addition of unlimited van supported uplift on 6 full days (i.e. an extra days guiding and uplift).
