“Having previously ridden in the Trans Madeira I had been looking for another mountain bike challenge, and the Andorra Epic more than ticked that box. Taking on the Pyrenees and conquering the tough ascents, with the challenge of great technical downhills and swooping forest singletrack was hugely rewarding. I’d highly recommend the event to anyone looking to up their MTB racing!” said Tony.
