Pano was an awesome guide. I told him my skill level and interests and he set a great route. It was a fun day. They rented me a good enduro bike and helmet, and picked me up and dropped me off. Highly recommended.

What a cool adventure to never forget. Together with Orlin we went on a mountain bike adventure in the mountains near Sofia. Excellent and comfortable mountain bikes and well-spoken tour guide Orlin. He takes your level of cycling into account, which is very nice. In addition, Orlin can tell you a lot about the area and Sofia. Thank you!

So we ended up in Sofia for a cheap winter city break hoping to find some Christmas markets etc but it turns out they don't really do that in Sofia. After walking around the city for a day it became clear that there wasn't much to do (unless ur into museums and churches etc). But this is a city surrounded by mountains... I love mountains!! And despite not bringing any MTB gear with me, a quick (actually long) trip to decathlon got me some essentials and I met up with my very friendly guide Lyubo, who is actually the founder of mtb-bg.com !! So he knows what he's doing. Lyubo spoke perfect English and after chatting for a while it was clear he knew the place like the back of his hand. He took the time to get to know my skill level and set up the full sus 170mm travel pulse rs1 properly for me and boy did it pay off. The day started with a pretty gruelling climb but I was glad of it to warm me up in the -3 temp. And the payoff was worth it!! The trail was epic, with fast flowy stuff, steep techy stuff as well as some big slick rock sections with many line choices and some awesome drops. The bike filled me with confidence on terrain I wouldn't have tackled on my hard tail. According to Strava we took in part of the Lokorsko enduro?? It was an amazing trail and it was clear we weren't even scratching the surface of what was available in this horseshoe of mountains around the city. A half hour drive with some snacks provided by Lyubo's mum took us to our next trail. A shorter but crazy steep climb had us hike'a'biking to the top for what Lyubo described as his favourite flow trail. We dropped in and I was loving the tight twisty single-track with trees whistling past my ears when a hidden rock washed out my front wheel and sent me otb into a tree!! When I'd recovered from being winded, but otherwise uninjured, I looked at the bike to discover I'd taco'd the front wheel... GUTTED!! Lyubo came back up to meet me and after checking I was ok, he insisted I ride his bike down the rest of the trail. In his words, he gets to ride that trail everyday, I might never see it again. I was very grateful but with confidence knocked I tiptoed my way down the mountain cursing my bad luck. All in all a fantastic day with an excellent host. I would highly recommend bike ventures if you are in this area looking for adventure. I will definitely be back to see what else the mountains have to offer mountain bikers in spring/summer.
