Hi Guys & Gals
I have been thinking about trying to organise a week away biking next year. I have contacted Ian from Mountain Bike Bulgaria and asked a few questions about costs and best times to go etc.
Ian had this to say:
Our season starts the beginning of May, however May can be a bit of a mixed bag weather wise. I always find that June is probably the best month, weather is getting warm but not to hot and the flight choice is good and not to expensive.
We can currently cater for groups of up to 11 people, this is due to transport of people and bikes.
Prices.....well for next year we have made a decision to actually reduce our price, we understand that things are tough out there at the moment and want to try and do what we can to help people afford a trip over here. For next season we are going to offer 7 nights bed and breakfast, airport transfers and 5 1/2 days guided riding for £275. This is the lowest price we can do.
We have no problem with a mid week arrival as long as we have a fair amount of notice. This is just so I can block those dates out in my diary especially if it is a big group. Will keep the week free just for your group then, so you will all be in the same accomodation, with rooms together.
The trails are very XC, quite raw and wild with plenty of twists and turns to keep you all on your toes with sunshine and loads of fun!!!
And finally the most important thing, half a litre of beer is still 46p and a 3 course meal about £6. As fast as the calories sweat off in the day, they some how magically go back on of a night!!
This seems like a great deal. I've had a look at flight costs and we potentially could get return flights for around £200.00 + biking shipping costs so I reckon we could get a
weeks guided riding in the sun for £500.00 or there abouts Obviously spends on top and with food and drinks at such low prices you wouldn't need a lot!!!
I know a couple of people who have been out there and had a great time.
Is anyone interested, seriously interested? I'm happy to do all the organising and coordinating. I will open a bank account so you can deposit money monthly if that works for you. I will look out for best flights etc.
