Team Pure Mountains El Limite 2008 Trip

Each May, the Sierra Nevada ski station stages a legendary mountain bike marathon called 'El Limite'. It is the toughest, most exciting and best mountain bike race in Spain and attracts around 1000 participants. Each year Pure Mountains enters a team of guests and staff. Each racer receives their individual result, both overall and within their age and gender category. It's an unforgettable trip for those looking for a huge personal challenge followed by a fun mountain bike holiday. We are now taking bookings for 2008's trip, which will run from Thursday 22 May to Thursday 29 May. The trip includes airport transfers, three nights' hotel accommodation in the city of Granada, a day's riding before the race to get into the Spanish groove or a chance to expore the beautiful city of Granada if you fancy it. Then, post-race, four nights at the Pure Mountains farmhouse enjoying a classic Spanish mountain bike holiday.

Here is what some of the 2007 team said about the trip:

“El Limite race was one of the best things I've ever done in my life! I felt such a sense of achievement - if I can do that I can do anything. It was brilliant to follow the race with a fantastic bike holiday with the rest of the team.”

-- Jenny Hutton, Sheffield

“I just came back from El Limite week with these guys and can't recommend it enough. I've been riding mountain bikes for 25 years but found this a great refresher for my tech skills plus I did the toughest race I've ever done while I was there”

-- John Hairsine

“Thanks for a great cycling experience. I think you guys have got it just right ......Let me know when you take bookings for the next one.”
