Unbeatable mountainbiking in Gothenburg Sweden – Hillside Cycling

Hi everyone,

Do you and your fellow club members want to get the most possible out of your MTB trips this summer? Then we’d like to recommend a week of intensive riding in Gothenburg, Sweden. No one escapes the challenging and technical trails without increasing their technique, endurance and strength!

Best regards,

Leo Ranta & Natasja Jovic, http://www.hillsidecycling.com/

ps- Please forward this to your club members.  See below for more info:

Hillside Cycling is a new company which specialises in guided MTB cycling trips in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The idea was born during one of Leo Ranta’s many cycling trips abroad when he realised that Gothenburg with its technically demanding trails and variation of terrain was unique.

Here we have hundreds of kilometres of practically undisturbed trails that wind and twist through fairytale woods and serene lakes.

Discover the trails that Leo Ranta explored and led trips on three times a week, all year round, during his 15 year career as an MTB-cyclist.

The agenda consisting of week-long trips consisting of five days cycling and catering is a similar set up to international trips. What makes us different is that our trails give daily delights of new discovery rather than a daily déjà-vu experience after the first day. That, in combination with Natasja Jovic’s impressive catering, will leave you with new feelings.

During the first year we offer guided cycling during ten weeks from June to August.

For more information see our website www.hillsidecycling.com
A warm welcome awaits you in Gothenburg.

Many hands…

This morning (Saturday) saw a group of fellow mtbers meet up at Conrhenny for some trail building.  Once the plans were discussed with the troops we all set to work and it wasn’t too long before we could really see the new boardwalk taking shape.  A short break for a spot of lunch, hot soup and hot dogs were on site but due to a small technical fault with the cooking facilities we had to resort to Costa tea, coffee and chip rolls, thanks to Clare, Sue and Phyllis for being dinner ladies.

So after 4 hours work we finished the two new sections of boardwalks and we would like to pay a huge thanks to those people for turning out to lend a hand, just goes to show that many hands truly do make light work!
