Review
Just a wonderful three days of cycling with Infinity. A top class organisation. Bikes in good condition, well maintained, great trails and extremely punctual pick up. Lovely lunch and refreshments served throughout. If you love mountain biking, culture and exploring this is the perfect company to go with. Lovely guides, Athur and Su, very fun and careful. I went as a solo female, met lovely people along the way and also felt very comfortable on the one day where I was the sole person riding with a guide. Bali is great MTB territory, both for XC stuff, and also downhilling/enduro jungle fun. Berms, drop offs, descents through mud and jungle, and then stunning rice field and jungle single track too!
