点评:Arrival was pretty seamless. Bikes were already on the trailer and freeride had different makes of helmet so I got one that was comfy. I normally live next to one of the flattest areas in yhe UK so booked the 'intermediate'. The uplift was quick to a cafe well up the mountain (chance for a toilet break and swift espresso) then a climb along the road to our start point. Initially the trails were rocky, technical and in places challenging but nothing that would really put anyone off. We had a beginner in our group, Max, and he was fine. A quick chat around the bikes for beginners (lock out suspension when climbing, lowering ghe seat) would have benefitted him but as I said, it was fine for him. The guide, Milton, was great. He was supportive and challenged us individually to improve. Also gave some language and food tips, awesome. 31 miles in duration with 1500 feet of climb...I felt I'd achieved something great, my longest ride on Strava and reinvigorated my interest in MTB (looking for a new bike!). The lunch stop was excellent followed by an exhilarating descent into funchal. Will most definitely book with Freeride again.
翻译:到达非常顺利。自行车已经在拖车上了,自由骑行有不同品牌的头盔,所以我买了一个很舒服的头盔。我通常住在英国最平坦的地区之一旁边,所以预订了“中级”。上山很快就到了山上的一家咖啡馆(有机会上厕所,喝杯浓缩咖啡),然后沿着路爬到我们的起点。最初,这些步道崎岖不平,技术性强,有些地方具有挑战性,但没有什么能让人真正放弃。我们组里有一个初学者,Max,他很好。围绕初学者的自行车进行快速讨论(攀爬时锁定悬架,降低座椅)本来会让他受益,但正如我所说,这对他来说很好。导游米尔顿很棒。他很支持我们,并要求我们单独提高。还提供了一些语言和食物提示,很棒。全程 31 英里,爬升 1500 英尺……我觉得自己实现了一些伟大的目标,这是我在 Strava 上最长的骑行,并重新激发了我对 MTB 的兴趣(寻找一辆新自行车!)。午餐时间非常好,然后令人兴奋地下降到丰沙尔。肯定会再次预订 Freeride。
