TESTIMONIALS

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what a few of our customers had to say about their trips:

Hey Mike! First of all I wanted to say the Peru trip was amazing. Wayo is the man!! Given..he had the perfect setting, surrounded by the perfect Andean mountains, nonetheless he turned an already 'cool as hell' trip into a nearly flawless one. Simply one of my best vacations yet. I think I was more winded by our constant laughing than the low-oxygen high elevation climbs!! Lets not forget, Jose and Russo, without them the trip would not have been nearly as cool. I think I can speak on behalf of all of us that took the trip when I say the day we spent in Joses Farm made the trip very different than anything we or at least I ever expected from any tour or organized travel. I didn't expect that...the guide does not usually take you to his home!! ...which happened to be a beautiful 40 acre citrus tree haven surrounded by some of the most amazing greenest hills that I have ever had the privilege of riding. As if that was not enough our perfect day of riding was supplemented by fresh juices, cheeses, cold peruvian beers served by the poolside and culminated with the delicious BBQ chicken lunch. Well, I could go on and on, but I think you already have a pretty good idea of how much I enjoyed my trip. I won't continue my rant, and leave you with more time to get out there and scout more 'sacred rides' for the rest of us to see and hopefully ride.

Just a note to let you know that Mick and I thoroughly enjoyed our Sacred Rides holiday. We had an absolutely fantastic time. The trails Eddy and Val took us on were excellent and we will remember them for a long time.

I think most of us felt that our riding had improved during the course of the week, and Mick and I have certainly noticed a difference since we got back to England and have been riding our favourite Lake District trails. We had a devil-kicking session last weekend, where Mick confidently rode the off-camber boardwalks that he is usually hesitant on, and I rode a particularly tricky rocky section that I have always jibbed at before. Both were conquered with ease!

Everyone in the group got along really well and Eddy and Val were a pleasure to be around. All in all, it was a fab holiday. Thanks very much!

Best regards,

Eddy, your lead guide, is quite something for his young age. He works very hard, he is very attentive, always available and is part of the gang! The food was perfect. Kelly prepared us sumptuous breakfasts every morning, very healthy snacks and most of all always different. She is a great cook and a very nice person. We rode some incredible trails in Fernie...thanks to Eddy that brought us to terrains we could really appreciate and enjoy - technical, fast and with breathtaking views. Fernie is such a great town with all these locals that have a fabulous way of living...bike, ski, chill! It makes us want to move in BC, as soon we convince our wives! Home Lodge felt like we were in St-Sauveur but with a much better view...Lynda is so sweet and welcoming! She made us feel at home letting us use her kitchen for cooking, her CDs for ambiance and her hot tub to relax. She had dinner with the group and we had so much fun. We rode Toby Creek in Invermere, Canyon Creek and hiked Mount Seven to the top. Memorable!!!!! We also hiked Little Beehive on a sunny 30 degrees...breathtaking views over Lake Louise and the glacier... We finished up with Jumping pound and Cox Hill....it was tough but worth the 360 degree view at the top. Everyone had the time of their lives!

Again, thanks for everything. We will miss BC and the sun that goes down at 10 PM over the Rockies.

Mary Sieders, UK, Ultimate BC

Thank you. I loved every minute of it. My bike skills and confidence have improved and I have seen truly amazing sights. A terrific trip!

Kim Ruthers, US, Inca Trail XC

I travel a lot, but I've never had such a positive experience with any tour operator so far. The way you take care of your customers is really impressive. I will recommend you warmly to all my mountain biker friends!

Dominique Tamborini, Switzerland, Ultimate BC

The guides were enthusiastic, level-headed and fun to be with. Their love of riding really shows.

Peter Magnusson, Sweden, Rocky Mountain Singletrack

First impressions last. The care, understanding and professionalism you all have, makes you very different, to deal with, from other guide companies.

Doug Greenall, Australia, 3x client, Rocky Mountain Singletrack Ultimate BC

The lodge in Fernie and the 'home' stay in Golden were stunning. The food was top notch, and the guides were awesome and very encouraging. I thoroughly enjoyed riding Fernie, Oasis trail, Seven Summites, Keystone Basin and the snow ride. I can't wait to come back!

Amanda Peterson, Canada, Ultimate BC

You guys were awesome - we had such an amazing time on the tour. You exceeded my expectations with everything........the guides, trails, accommodation, food, atmosphere, and professionalism. Without a doubt Cox Hill was the best trail I have ever ridden. That sweet, sweet single track was worth every minute I spent hauling my ass up the mountain! Kim and Rich thanks for going out of your way to make Gilles and my special day - well special!

Carli Beaver, Australia, Rocky Mountain Singletrack

Thanks again for a great week of riding. It was some of the best riding I've ever done and definitely taught me a few things along the way. The caliber of the trails was second to none. You guys are great and very patient guides and really good cooks too and I can't tell you how appreciative I was about the Mount 7 thing... The techyness (if that's a word) of the trails pushed me a little and now I'm hooked on finding more and more technical lines in our "buffed out" foothills trails.

Ryan & Jen Sukow, Boise, ID, Mountain Bike Meccas '06,

You provide a great atmosphere for a great time, the trails rock, and my riding improved. I couldn't ask for more!

Brad Toothman, Hailey ID, Rocky Mountain Singletrack

Thanks a lot Mike and team. The week was beyond all expectations, and you made our trip from down under one to truly remember. We look forward to returning for more!

Alan & Deb Carstens, New Zealand, Rocky Mountain Singletrack

The guides were excellent, the riding was amazing, and the food was fantastic! I have ridden a lot of things I wouldn't have thought I could but with the encouragement, it made it all possible. Thank you very much for a most wonderful experience.

Kelly Linaker, Australia, Rocky Mountain Singletrack

The guides were fantastic. Great attitudes and very concerned about riding safely.

Sasha Walshe, Vancouver BC, Surf and Singletrack, Chile

I had the most incredible MTB experience. Danika and Johanna are suberb teachers and wonderful people besides. I got everything I was hoping to get from this DH training camp and more!

Kayla Bonham, Calgary AB, Womens DH camp

What a trip! Exceeded my expectations. Not to mention, we had the best group of folks to round out the amazing experience. Little too much traveling toward the end of the trip, but the payoff riding CoxHill made it all worth it....great end to a fantastic week!!! Thanks to you and Eddy for the help you gave me during my travel delimma's !

Joe Silverio, USA, Rocky Mountain Singletrack

Food and guides were outstanding. The lodge in Golden was beautiful, could easily stayed in a place like that all week. The trip was as perfect as I could have expected. I had high expectations going in and this trip surpassed them. Aside from the incredible scenery and riding there where two things that made this trip better than I expected. Eddy and the great people in our group. Seldom do you get that many strangers together without conflict. We not only got along, we REALLY loved each other's company. And Eddy is not only an outstanding guide (planner, worker, leader) he is an extremely likeable person. He kept order without being a drill sergeant. He fit into the group be still remained professional. And he kept us safe and organized and at the same time let us feel like we were in charge of our trip. PERFECT!!! ALL the people we came in contact with were excellent. Sean, our cooks as well as all the locals we ran into. I supervise 10 people in my job and I can say this, you are lucky to have people like Eddy and the others.

Joseph DiClementi, USA, Rocky Mountain Singletrack

Wayo was fantastic -- great combination of biking guide and tour guide. He was the perfect choice for a trip like this where the goal is great biking in a great (new) setting amidst a new culture. We had a great mix between the biking and the cultural exposure to modern Peru, Quechua culture, and Inca history.

Neeraj Soni, Idaho, USA, Inca Trail XC/All-Mountain, Peru

Thank you so much for an amazing time. I wanted a challenge and every day there was something new. I could not have asked for anything more. I enjoyed being around the three of you... you're all so positive and supportive. That alone was worth it.

Chris Turnbull, Edmonton AB, Rocky Mountain Singletrack

I attended one of your Don Clinics this past summer, and wow, was I impressed. I had never taken a mountain bike lesson before, but still considered myself and advanced rider, having done Whistler, North Shore, etc. My riding was elevated after your clinic. Great feedback, individual analysis, it was awesome. Even though I was on my cross country bike, and clipped in, your coaches had me doing lines and stunts I would not have considered unless on a freeride bike and flats. I was inspired!
