THE DOWNHILL BIKE RIDE
Definitely not! Many of our guests haven’t ridden a bike for decades.
Furthermore, you cycle as much or as little as suits you. You can get back into the support minibus any time you want.
Again, definitely not! Our oldest rider to date was 90 …. with his 68 year old son!
Yes, of course. Normally a minimum of about 8 years old, providing they are at least 120 cm or 4′-0″ tall. We can cater for younger children as well if their parents confirm that they are able to ride safely on public roads. Please, contact us in this case so that we are able to organize a bicycle for your child beforehand.
Furthermore, younger children can accompany their parents in our bicycle trailer which will be pulled by one of the parents. The trailer can carry two children with a maximum weight of 40 kilos or 6 stones.
Clients on the ride should wear closed shoes. We allow us to ask clients to go back to their rooms to change their footwear if it’s not appropriate for the ride, i.e. flip-flops.
From October to April it can be a bit chilly up in the Sierra Aitana. We are able to provide jumpers, gloves, scarfs and beanies on the ride. However, we highly recommend to wear closed shoes, long trousers, a jacket, fleece or jumper
