Guided MTB cycling trips in Gothenburg, Sweden

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!
Don’t miss any of our exciting news: http://www.hillsidecycling.com/news/
Best regards,
Leo Ranta & Natasja Jovic, 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.
