Are you interested in getting away for some sunshine and stunning, technical riding this summer? Well, I’ve been in touch with Doug at Basque MTB, he has a few spaces left for 11-18th June and he’ll be able to host GMBC riders who are riding at an intermediate to advanced level. So far myself, Will and a mate of his are going.
Here’s the blurb from Doug about the Basque Coast:
“Put simply this part of Spain has everything we need with the Pyrenees, the Basque culture, and Spain’s stunning coastline. The mountain biking is very varied, from big mountain trails in the Pyrenees to stunning singletrack along the Spanish coast, each day we will choose something special to suit you.”
Accommodation is at a lovely B&B in Hondarribia, just above the town, with a pool and a short walk to excellent bars and restaurants. A week with BasqueMTB is €750 (approx £590).

Oh so keen… This’ll tie in perfectly with the alps trip I have 2 weeks later, haha!
I’m interested! will need to take a look at finances and holidays at work but that’s just details. I’ll have a chat with you on Sat or Sun.
Graham, you missed out the bit when you take everyone out on the last night, tour the local nightclubs, then wander about bladdered at 5am trying to remember where the hotel is…. 🙂
Ssshhhh! 😉
