Itinerary description

Track with a wee bit of everything, not technical, not dangerous, good fun to ride with different tipes of terrains and a lot of not too fast downhills. There are up to 2-3 spots along the way to possibly put an ambulance (if they want one) and a F&B Stop&Go point. Depending on the pace of the clients I have the option to finish earlier or later by removing or adding some km without hesitation and it wouldn't be a problem for the bus driver either nor t'he bicycle supplier.
Groups of 10+ people a second guide at the rear of the group is needed (along with walkie talkies).
Groups of 15+ people a city hall's permit is needed.
The height of each client is needed beforehand so we can provide the exact bike size for every single one in the group.
If clients bring their own bicycle shoes with step-in pedals it's a must to inform me beforehand, so we have enough time to change flat pedals to step-in ones.

Waypoints

meeting and starting point

BRIEFING: A) Introduction: Introduce yourself and assistant, explain where we are and what we gonna be doing. Activity; 15k not too technical and not too fast Mountainbiking one way route. Each bicycle has a label with their names on so don't need to rush to pick up the one they like most, we've selected the bicycles by their height. Check gears, position and height seat, front and rear breaks, chain, tires, fork and front and rear deraliers, it's for their own good. B) Health and Safety: 1.- Do not overtake me, follow my track and pace instead. 2.- On the downhill section of the track it is a must to leave a technical space between yourself and the bicycle in front of you in case they fall you have to have time to react, break, overtake and later assist/help if needed. 3.- Whatever I say along the way, the person right behind me has to pass it on to the next behind them and so on so my message must literally reach my assistant in perfect state of comprehension. Point out: in order not to cross the road there is a bridge we cross by bicycle. Let's go, slowly but surely, then warm up a bit and then will see.

multi-options point

A) If we contract an ambulance that could be an strategic point to leave it. B) If the group is slow and they run out of time, they can be picked up here if I previously inform both the bus driver and the bicycle supplier about the location change. C) It can also be a stop and go point with F and B (Can Borrell Rest provider).
