Booked a 3 day trip early August , all communication from booking to arrival was kept well informed. 3 of us rode with 2 local guides who certainly knew their stuff. Fantastic trails from the start, breathtaking scenery and it got better and better as we went on. Husky 701 endure bikes were perfect for the job and maintained to a high class. The guys were brilliant, nothing was any trouble for them and when I dropped my bike in the river they didn't worry, just got on the Mobi to bring in the support wagon and unload the spare bike. Lots of stops at hidden places which they know from years of time out in the wilderness. The stop over huts were a delight, so quiet and remote, food was of local supply and 5 star rated, the cold beer at the end of each day was very welcome and lots of chilled out banter and laughs. The riding was truly awesome, the locals were even more awesome. I want to go back again. Well done guys, you are onto a winner so I better book soon before all the dates are full up. Cheers. Richard. From Falmouth.

I just finished a six-day trip with the guys from Ride With Locals. It was motocross/enduro on brand new 701 Husqvarnas and KTM 690's. Honestly, it was a blast! All aspects of the journey were exceptional. Because it was completely back-country for the duration of the trip with Ride With Locals providing everything but personal safety gear and weather gear, I was curious as to how it would all pan out. Here's what I found as the trip unfolded: the bikes were well-maintained, the trails had lots of variety and were an absolute thrill, the major focus of the trip were the trails, the meals were five-star--fresh food cooked up each night by the guide/chef, the accommodations (four cabins, five nights out there) were clean, comfortable, private to the group and all but one had shower facilities. Basically, all of my "tactical" concerns were taken care of.
Here's the important thing about this company: the guys that own the company are the guys that are riding the bikes and doing the guiding. Talk about ownership! Let me give you an example of how well these guys took care of me: the skills level of the group ranged from a novice (me) who had accumulated a lofty fourteen hours on a Husky 501 just before showing up for this trip to a guy who has been moto-crossing all his life and can never get enough of it. I have to say that both types of riders were fully accommodated on this trip. Being a bit short (30" inseam) I was asked right away if I wanted to ride a lower bike (ie. a KTM 450). Being curious about how the 701 handled, I opted for the Husky--for the first two days. As soon as I had had enough, the guys brought out a 450 and even changed out the seat for a lower one. The other end of the skills spectrum did not need any extra mods; they got their fill of speed and thrills.
As we were Averaging almost 200 klicks per day, Skule, Olaf, Gudjun quickly became more than just guides: they were genuinely interested in making sure that we were getting as much out of our trip as we could. And we thoroughly enjoyed their good company on the trails and in the camps.
I'll be back this time next year for six days of thrills and great company!
