To Malaga, Spain... three of us going this Friday to Sunday, two days riding enduro on Saturday and Sunday... :moto:
Must be fun...Any one been...Any tips... Im a novice at this :rofl: the other two seem to know what they are doing :moto:
This Years geting off to a good start on the biking front, off road any way :moto:
Welll that was an experience id highly recomend if any one fancies a bit of off road enduro.
The trails were quite something for a total novice (Which the 3 of us where really) I hadnt cocked me leg of a bike like this for off road riding any way ever!
Some of the terain I would have descibed as extreme (At least thats what it felt like) and I cant believe when looking back at some of the climbs and decents we did that we actuallly did them.. amazing thing to do and if enduro is your thing and you havent considered doing this type of activity, you dont kow what your missing
Day one out on the bikes from around 10:30 - back from the mountains around 17:00hrs. - a few spills no major crashes just stalls on hillls or dropping the bike - all good
Day two out on the bikes around 10:30 - back from the mountains around 17:00 again. - A few incidents along the way... we had a days experience now and all thought we were experts.
Some guy trys undertaking Neil on a corner and ends up off the trail in the bushes with his bike, up side down. Saved by the vegetation...
A few guys crash and go over the bars, one guy landing half on half off the verge of the trail wih a significant drop only inches away
Some pics for those that are interested. None do the mountains and trails any justice, you will have to experience it to apppreciate it fully.
That is how narrow the trails where, some, in fact many had significant drops to the side as you can imagine being up a mountain...

Looks awesome with some delightful weather!
Sorry I missed your original post.
I went on a similar tour with Trailworld a few years ago and would highly recommend it.
As you say some significant drops from some of the trails. I was amazed how far we came on by the second day, much much quicker and more technical.
