Brilliant - would do again

“My first time time bikepacking. Great opportunity to try with the knowledge that there was support at hand if required.”

My first time time bikepacking. Great opportunity to try with the knowledge that there was support at hand if required. Having done gravel events with other companies in the past and been hugely disappointed with the lack of gravel, this AMA route restored my faith. Fantastic route of actual gravel and quiet lanes with lovely views and forest trails. My only criticism would be due to the heat, a route with better water access on day one would have been helpful.

The sun shone!

“The gravel route was excellent covering a variety of surfaces that were all doable (depending how much kit you were loaded with) on a light gravel bike.”

“AMA are absolutley brilliant, exceptional in organising all of the important details when it comes to multi day bike packing events.”

AMA are absolutley brilliant, exceptional in organising all of the important details when it comes to multi day bike packing events. Not only do you get accepted into a great community of riders from all over the country, you ride to some of the beautiful places that would have otherwise remained unknown. The support also from all the team is top class, i also love how It doesnt matter about levels of experience everyone is welcome. Thanks AMA i will be back for more
