For God's sake Sue if you end up in Borovets, don't visit George's Bar. If it's like this in winter, just think of the flies in summer! youtu.be/wOIYm5B_Pw8Christ, what a dump!

Ok so i emailed Ian about a few things and this was his reply..........
We do not go over to the east of the country, I have been over there with my bike but it is very much downhill only. Just like the Alps, the mountains are just to big for XC. Only unlike the Alps there is nothing set up for Summer sports. The lifts do not open, no trails are marked and up lifts are difficult because there are not a lot of roads in the mountains. Our holidays are totally XC orientated, with anything between 700 and a 1000 metres a day climbing and descending. All the riding is off road except for day one were we do some road miles just to get the legs working after your flight here. There are no fire roads out here, just jeep tracks which are rutted and bumpy. I always say Sue, if people ride Llandegla, Penmachno and the Marin each week, then they will love what we have here. If people go to Farmer Johns, Moelfre etc each week, then they need to go to the Alps and do downhilling! Hope that helps a bit and gives you more idea of what we have out here.

If you haven't already book, maybe consider Bansko. Some great XC biking, as well as stunning hiking in the mountains to be had, was out there July last year for a week If needing a guide Speak to Nigel (knows the trails like the back of his hand!) www.mtbbansko.com who can also sort some great accommadation. Also check out bansko-mtb.com for some maps of the area and XC events which are on during the summer. Again speak to James @ the avalon hotel for great accommadation/advice. Drop me a pm if you require any further info / accommadation contacts
