The Costa Blanca has some truly spectacular mountain biking. It is very rough terrain with tracks linking almost all the mountains and valleys with a web of paths and tracks. The going on most routes is tuff. A lot of the day is spent pedalling up and then racing down.
This is three season pedalling excluding summer which is too hot. Winter is very mild, with almost no rainfall. We offer a great deal of knowledge of the area, including maps, rides and information on the routes. We can also arrange pick-ups, airport transfers for bikes and kit.
We only offer a number of day trips in and around the area of the Marina Baja.
Day trips: A circular cycle of the sierra Aitana. We start off at 900m and ascend up to 1450m. This is quite a demanding day and takes in some 2000m of ascent. 6-7 hours
From mountain to coast: start 34km from the coast at 1000m and follow roads and tracks down to the beach. This is a much easier ride but still requires some pedalling.
Easy rider: A down hill cycle of the area. This is a circular bicycle ride that takes in some of the hidden Spanish delights. We explore the various villages and try their tapas. There is a support vehicle to take us up the very large mountains and then we ride down the other side. That is not to say there is no pedalling.
There are lots of flats and some small rises, but we take the sting out of it and keep the fun. For those who know when to quit there is the possibility of getting in the van.
Half day: this is a 3-4 hour ride that is both exiting and quite demanding. There is a lot of down hill but also an equal amount of up hill. The ride is mainly good, rough foresters track.
