We had a great enduro bike vacation in Bulgaria with Bike Venture team.
The vacation was on Mid July for 8 days (6 days of riding)
We were group of 4, of experience riders.
Our experience in bike vacation includes Italy, Romenia, Andora, French, so we have the perspective of a good vacation....
We had two sleeping locations, the first was in Borevetz - we stayed at Rila Hotel .
The first two days of riding were in Vitosha mountain - the trails are maintained by local riders, theyt are relative smooth and very fast.
The next two days we spent in Borevents Bike Park. It has 3 major lines (with 2 branches) and optional of all mountain trail near the park.
From Borevetz we moved to Bansko, we stopped on the way for couple of runs in a town I forgot the name... though the trails there were great as well.
In Bansko we had two days of riding.
The trails there are maintained by local riders and we stayed in a small family hotel which was great (the owners are riders themselves and are very friendly and helpful).
Comments to improve
1) It is better to sleep in Sofia instead of Borevetz as there is nothing to do in Borevetz, or as an option to sleep in Sofia for two days and Borevetz for two days
2) The hotel breakfast starts at 8AM , and it delays the morning start time. I would recommend skip that breakfast and for the team to bring groceries for sandwiches to eat on the way, so U could earn more riding time
Bike venture team are great instructors and riders, they are professionals and they are very friendly and customer oriented.
We could make changes to the overall plan, repeat trails that we likes, choose the launch time and so on.
Overall, we had great experience and I highly recommended this vacation with Bike Venture
