What to Bring - MTB

The essential kit to enjoy your mountain bike holiday in Spain

• Bike - rental of one of our bikes is included in most of our holiday prices (check individual touur) or you can bring you own (see below) 
• Helmet (bring you own or use ours - free of charge) 
• Padded cycling shorts (essential kit for staying comfortable over a few days' riding)
• Your own saddle if you prefer - let us know if you are bringing one
• Cycling gloves
• Cycling tops or T shirts
• Sports bra (ladies only!)
• Socks
• Cycling shoes (let us know if you want clip-in pedals) or trainers - firm soles are best.
• Sunglasses
• Sun cream and after-sun lotion
• Rucksack or Camelbak for carrying water, suncream, spare clothes etc. 
• Casual clothes, swimwear and footwear
• Health insurance policy document
• Phone charge, European adapter plug
• Phone battery powerbank (ref. self-guided tours RidewithGPS app.)

For winter riding

• extra body layers with long sleeves (thin thermal tops are great)
• light waterproof/windproof jacket 
• leggings
• neck scarf / snood (great as sweat bands in the summer and for warmth in the winter)
• warm fleece and jacket for the evenings

If you bring your own bike

• Make sure you check with your airline what their requirements are before you travel.  Pack it carefully, either in a bike box or bag to avoid damage in transit – pipe insulation is perfect to protect the frame. Remember to deflate the tyres, lower the saddle, turn the handle bars in and remove the pedals.
• Have your bike serviced before your trip.
• Bring with you a spare rear mech hanger, replacement brake pads, chain and inner tubes.
• We have secure storage for your bike.
