About 10fifty Mountain Bike Holidays |
10fifty Mountain Bike Holidays was the result of a mountain bike guide thinking that if he ran a mountain bike holiday company he could provide better holidays. He still thanks that, and thinks that he has proved it. 10fifty is about the best mountain bike holidays and we make no apologies for that. We owned and run by the head guide, the other people involved, right down to the person repying to your emails in the office are mountain bikers. We don't do skiing holidays, we don't do action / adventure / extreme sports holidays, we do mountain biking holidays because thats all we are passionate about.
So what did we do to make our mountain bike holidays better than all the others?
Beginner
Mountain Bikers? - No!
Firstly we don't take beginners on our guided rides. Its not fair on them,
or on the group. If you are an experienced mountain biker who has has
one week's holiday to experience the very best mountain biking you can
you are not going to like waiting around for Billy Beginner to wobble
around some easy switchbacks when you could be carving your way down some
beautiful singletrack with the minimum of hold-ups.
Small
groups for better mountain biking
Where other
mountain bike companies try and get the maximum number of people out in
a week with the minimum of guides we go the other way, small groups and
more than enough guides.
Better
mountain bike trails
This seems a little stupid as why would there
be any difference in the trails that the different mountain bike holiday
companies ride? Well there is. We are a specialist mountain bike holiday
company that isn't a ski company looking for something to do with the
chalet in the summer or a big corporate looking for new holiday markets.
We are owned and run by mountain bikers, the boss is the head guide, so
our emphasis falls on the riding. We go out ofour way to provide the very
best mountain biking and each year we add to our already extensive portfolio
of mountain biking fun. Its not some snowboarder taking you out for a
few hours on the same old trails because it makes life easy for him -
we are small and specialist therefore we have to provide you with the
best mountain biking or else we won't survive!
Providing
the whole holiday
It became
clear to us that some of the companies thought that mountain bikers could
just be given quantity, not quality when it came to food. We think that
is disgraceful. It costs a bit more to provide good food but this is your
special week biking, probably the highlight of your biking year, you want
the works, home made chocolate mousse and all. You can be assured 10fifty
prides itself with giving the full package with food and accommodation
to match the quality of the mountain biking.
