Off-Road Cycling

Two-wheeled adventures to get your heart racing – not a car in sight

Off-Road Cycling Holidays

This is where our passion for cycling holidays began: providing off-road and mountain-biking adventures to destinations where independent riders would find it difficult to find the best trails. Some of our current off-road cycling trips date back to our original range, but all have benefited from years of tweaking and improvements at the hands of our expert biking leaders.

Conquer spectacular Himalayan passes, speed through palm trees on a singletrack trail in Morocco or ride past nomadic communites in mysterious Mongolia. Whether you’re new to the activity or a hardened singletrack fan, with our off-road cycling tours you will be enjoying some of the finest bike trails anywhere in the world.

Guided Groups

Guided-group trips are our most popular type of holiday. Guided exploration with a small group of travellers is how we began, and we’ve been doing it for over 40 years now. Our groups are small, normally 8-16 people, meaning our trips aren’t disruptive to the places we visit. Plus, a smaller number of guests creates a good group dynamic; you’ll get to know a range of people from different backgrounds with a shared interest in cycling and travel.

It also works out better value for money as the costs of the trip are spread across the group. And with a local expert on every adventure, you’ll experience the true nature of your chosen destination; our passionate and knowledgeable guides are famous for going the extra mile.

This was my first Exodus trip, so I’ll start by saying I’m very impressed with the organisation and customer support leading up to it. The trip itself was so much fun from start to finish. Maybe I lucked out, but the other 9 on the trip were a great bunch and we all got on really well throughout. The cycling itself started with a real bang with a 3 mile rocky (and a bit technical in places) descent that put a grin on my face that never left all week (well, maybe on some of the ascents it did wane a little…). I’d say it was about 50% descent, 20% “moroccan flat” and 30% ascent, so you do need to put some work in, and I confess that I took advantage of the support vehicle for 2 of the really long ascents. The views are stunning throughout and the Anti Atlas section (which was the majority) was pretty awe inspiring. We were over-fed throughout with snack and lunch stops, so never ran out of fuel or water, and any mechanicals were dealt with quickly and expertly by the support crew. The hotels were all comfortable and I particularly liked the end of the day ‘beer on the balcony’ moments in Tafroute watching the sun set over the mountains, and the meal in Immouzer was incredible.. The bikes were Cannondale 29ers and rolled well over everything – rocks, riverbeds, gritty pistes and tarmac. Some of the switchback descents went on forever (if I go to heaven….), and the final day run down to the sea (with a refreshing dip) was a fitting finale to an amazing week of riding.

I was new to mountain biking and saw that this trip was challenging, however, I foolishly assumed it meant physical only. It hadn’t really occurred to me that the biking itself might be technical (I know, naive!) The first two days saw we go over the top of my handlebars three times and it could be hairy at times but by day three, it was the descents were less rocky and I was getting a feel of the bike. My enthusiasm wasn’t dented though. Like others in the group we walked a few short challenging parts and cycled everything else and it was a lot of fun. The ascents (which is what I had assumed the Challenging related to before I went) were frequent enough to be great exercise and to not make it all a gravity based ride but not so frequent as to make it a slog. I enjoyed these ascents overall as they always give me a sense of achievement. We had 10 in the group which was a great number. Small enough to know everyone and big enough to have variety. Great people and all decent cyclists without any being killers! The guides were exceptional – kind, funny, warm, attentive and very professional. It was always a relief to arrive at lunch after a long ride and see their tale stacked with grub. A couple people were on the trip for the second time and whilst I doubt I would do any trip two times, I can see that this is one that would lend itself to this as it is more about the cycling and not visiting well-worn sites and places to but souvenirs you’ll never need! Great trip! Thank you everyone involved.
