First let’s talk about Jauo, our guide. He’s very calm, relaxed, patient, knowledgeable, highly skilled and experienced at his craft. All the stuff you would hope from your tour guide. He wasn’t just a guide that we followed around but a very talented and gifted tutor. I’ve a had a couple of bikes but not ridden for a few years and was well out of form but we were carefully assessed by Jauo and taken through a series of excercises which set the tone for what our days riding would consist of (the difficulty level) which was always challenging, never easy, slighty scary but not too intimidating. A good balance.
The bikes. Husky 300 cc two strokes were/are perfect enduro. Quite light and manageable with enough power when u need it. I’m glad we weren’t on his older models, the CR 450four strokes. Me and my bro have been stuck on hill climbs on those bikes before in the UK and near died of exhaustion. So the bikes are fit for purpose, well maintained and we loved them.
The terrain was varied, a lot of dry soft dirt but also compacted dirt, rocky tracks, animal tracks , you name it we had a bit of everything.
The tour consisted of lots of stopping and starting which was great coz if gave us a minute to rest and each time we stopped we were given tips and tuition and what to expect around the next corner regarding what line to take and of any impending obstacles, all invaluable stuff and I was so glad Jauo really took the time to make sure always we were having fun but also keeping it challenging and always learning.
To conclude, we highly recommend mountain gadget for all the afore mentioned reasons. This day out far exceeded my expectations and actually made my holiday. Not just the best day this week but one of my best days ever. I’ll never forget this day out.
