Mountain Bike and road bike Holidays in France and Portugal

Portugal
Escape the ‘CHILLY’ Concrete Trails of life in the Algarve with A Quick Release Holidays - March 2015. Discover the tranquil village of Alte, a hidden treasure pot of single track hidden in the Algrave hinterland that not many mountain bikers know about. There are a wide range of trails from silky smooth to rocky single track. The trails are mostly undulating and vary as AQR take you to different areas across this part of the Algarve.
Like all A Quick Release Holiday biking adventures you will be at one with the trail and very rarely meet another biking soul, let alone any walkers...just a farmer or two and the occasional goat.
Please note that the trails are cross country, trail and at times even 'enduro'...we like to call it mountain biking. The Algarve offers some some great descents and fun flowy single track, plus technical riding for those who like to be challenged...however this is not down-hill territory and a light weight trail mountain bike you can pedal is recommended.
AQR also offer a road cycling week for those of you who prefer quiet tarmac roads and March spring time warmth.

France
ESCAPE THE CONCRETE TRAILS OF LIFE....discover Luchon, the 'Queen of the Pyrenees'.
Hidden within the trees, overlooking Luchon’s valley floor is AQR’s mountain biking playground smack bang in the French Pyrenees. There are trails for all fitness levels and abilities. Every ride offers panoramic views and breathtaking scenery, along with the crisp pyrenean mountain air to invigorate your senses.
