BikeVillage mountain bike holidays

BikeVillage mountain bike holidays BikeVillage use awesome mountain biking holidays in the French Alps as deep cover for a ruthlessly organised cheese smuggling empire.

BikeVillage holidays are a bit different. For starters, we only take small groups at the farmhouse. Each week we talk to our guests to see what they want to ride (singletrack, singletrack or singletrack being the main options) and how much/ how fast they want to ride it. Then we help them choose the rides that will bring them the biggest smiles. No-one has to compromise and do rides aimed at other

riders’ levels. Instead, everyone rides exactly what they want at the pace they want. Have a peek at www.bikevillage.co.uk for more exciting ride-rant. We’ve basically found what we think is the best technical singletrack mountain biking anywhere in the world. Around this abundant resource we have spent the last seventeen years creating a mountain biking holiday with a uniquely friendly and informal atmosphere. Maybe that’s why last year three quarters of our guests had been out with us before or were being brought along by someone else who had, in some cases returning to us for the nineteenth time in sixteen years! With BikeVillage you come to stay at our own French farmhouse by Les Arcs, not just a rented ski chalet, so you really can make yourselves at home. You’ll be enjoying home-cooked and sometimes home-grown food. What’s certain is that by the time you go home you’ll have a totally new concept of what makes a truly great mountain bike trail and, luckily, some good new riding friends to help ease you through the post-holiday UK riding blues!

You know how bike guides lie a bit, most of the time? Well... so we called it the AlpPack'Queyras and then we ride straight into Piemonte for half the trip!!
Something to do with 7 course dinners, the absolute tiniest roads to ever terrify an uplift driver and sublime (if chunky) trails set within some properly bananas scenery (legit geological term there).
We're having a ball!!

AlpPack'Queyras is go!! The inaugural trip is off to a belting start, thanks to the loveliest of crews, Ben BACKCOUNTRY MTB and our new trailer-free set-up courtesy of my joiner's roof rack and Guides VTT • VTTAE • Navettes Enduro 's vertical rack - more on that in another post.
This one will go in the calendar for sure so keep your eyes on your inboxes or give me a shout for dates next year.
Until then, we're hopping over the border tomorrow into Italy so more cool shots soon.

It feels SO good when a new ride idea totally works! Adding a big all mountain twist to some classic trails. Can you spot them?
Massive thanks to the lovely crew for another one of Paul Banyagi-Mugenyi 's best days ever😉😂😘🙌 and to Guides VTT • VTTAE • Navettes Enduro - another hard day shared in the office🤭

Dogdaydiaries, day 3. Ever feel like you're stuck in a rut? Here's a top tip: look down and check, you might actually be stuck in a real rut!
I got the dog trailer wedged in there good n' tight. Easier to sort out than a mental rut-themed funk though😉👍
Also, is there a recognised conversion rate for metres climbed when pulling a trailer containing your favourite savage half-bear-half-boar compared to 'normal' climbing? 1200m this morning defo felt like more than that ⛰️❤️🐻➕️🐗🟰🐕
First ever bike trip with the beast though and basically a big fat win. None of the stuff I thought would go wrong did and all the good bits were great. It's a funny feeling riding through town though - it's like how I imagine being a celebrity's chauffeur must be. Rosa got A LOT of love from the world at large and I could have been stark b££lock naked and no-one would've noticed. Great for me but alas poor Rosa is a shy wee thing and would rather be incognito too, bless her❤️
More adventures on the way - suggestions welcome! Smoother gravel is best, singletrack possible but ruts are an issue!😅😅

The dogpacking diaries, part deux : totally lucked out climbing up to what might have been just a muddy puddle, but turned out to be a sooper doops lush muddy puddle with a bonus Mt Blanc backdrop. Absolutely mind bending spot and enough peat in the lake that Rosa dog now smells like a tramp's socks. So do I.

So the question is: am I taking Rosa 🦮 bikepacking, or is Rosa 🦮 taking me dogpacking? Pretty sure I don't care - it's top fun and she stops me going nuts and doing 4000m days, which I need😉😅
