Down hill descent (mountain bikes)
My husband (Brian) and my dad (Colin) did this activity.
We arrived at a car park were we collected our bikes, helmets and some water. The bikes were state of the art and had good suspension. We also met our guide here.
We started the ride with about an hour cycling up hill. We stopped on a regular basis to wait for the last person. When we got to the top it was a steep rocky decent on a narrow path.
Then after that it was a fast decent down grass and through trees.
Then we wound our way down the back streets into Ax Les Thermes. Here we had a drink and discussed the ride.
We were then taken back to our cars in a bus and all the bikes were collected from us.
It was a very enjoyable afternoon, but hard work. This is not a ride for the un-experienced biker or children. The guide was brilliant he was insured and carried a first aid kit (that was used for knees and elbows)
****From what my husband and dad tell me this was a group of grown men having a whale of a time on mountain bikes. Falling off was all part of the fun they tell me!!!
