A 5-DAY COURSE THAT TURNS STREET-RIDERS INTO ADVENTURE RIDERS

NEXT AVAILABLE DATES: MAY 2025

THE ETHOS

There are plenty of one-day courses in the UK but this 5 day session will transform your skills.

THE INSTRUCTOR

Dai Jones is my right-hand man and the perfect person to host you and develop your abilities.

THE SETTING

Dai has booked a private farmhouse near Andorra and you all live together during the week of training. A small group, not a production line!

“Dai gave me the skills and confidence which have opened up the offroad world. And I love it!”

GARY AYLMER

MONDO SKILL BUILDER EXPLAINER

“A truly excellent course! It took me from zero to hero AND I made some great friends at the same time.”

INFORMATION

GENERAL FORMAT

Dai Jones writes:
“I have put together a structured route designed to help you grow as the week progresses we will enjoy nursery slope riding to begin with and as you gain confidence and display improvement we will move to slightly more challenging ground. The skill of your guide is his ability to switch your route as the day unfolds and gauge how much you’re ready for.”

Dai Jones has an in-depth knowledge of these trails and an excellent ability to get you home tired and challenged without pushing you past your ability.

This trip is designed to ensure you leave feeling you are confident to take on our Mini Mondo or enter one of Austin’s Spanish Navigation events.

ACCOMODATION, FOOD & BEVEREAGE

The accomodation is close to the town of LLavorsi, which is 30 miles west of Andorra
The house has been handpicked to offer comfort blended with olde-worlde charm.

Expect to share a twin room with another participant. This is a self-catering holiday which means everyone needs to pull their weight with the cooking and cleaning. I provide all the necessary food and beverage including packed lunches, wine and beer in the evening and the odd Cafe con leche when we’re on the road.

The accommodation is included in the fee.

PREREQUISITS

You need to be able to get both feet firmly on the floor when sitting on your chosen bike.

You need to be reasonably fit and active, if you are not in good condition you will not be able to make as much progress as the other team members.

Ensure you have your EHIC card and your own vehicle and holiday insurance (which includes guided off-road riding) to cover you in the eventuality of a serious accident.

BIKES & RENTALS

Hire bikes are available from www.pautravelmoto.com

You can also bring your own trail bike, I recommend that you bring something small and easy to manage, I’m sorry to say that big adventure bikes are simply not suitable, if you’re new to this then make it easy, stay nimble.

I often have a couple of spare bike spaces in my van and can transport bikes at a cost of £250 each along with a kit bag.

LOCATION

All courses take place in the stunning Catalan Pyrenees where the trails are endless and the scenery is mind-blowing.

The trails start at our doorstep and go in several directions, you will not ride the same route twice.

“If you wanted to learn to ski you would go to a resort and spend a week on the nursery slopes, green then blue runs. That’s exactly what Dai’s week is, but on a trail-bike!”
