Once again we’ll be at Mountain Mayhem 2011. We’ve two teams - Saddle Sore Skedaddle, our female team of Anne Woods (who guides on many of our trips), Kate Atack (surely the best biking name ever!!), Lisa Garside (who has been a regular Skedaddle customer over the years) and Clare Morris (the Lakeland Legend) and Saddle Skedaddle Straddlers of John Hurworth (GT), Kevin Lonsdale (looks like Will Self), Graeme Collins (hairier than Grizzly Adams and smells about the same) and Mick Arms (El Jefe).
Jim Davies who many of you have done trips with in the past will be going solo under the amazing name of Solo Skedaddle…cunning eh!!
Support staff there are:
Steve Woods… chief guide / mechanic
Andrew (Straws) - Egg fryer, butty maker, pasta chef and beer chiller organiser
Rod Jones - The world’s biggest U2 fan and Steve’s esteeemed helper on Friday and the rest of the weekend

This superb desert biking adventure focuses on the deep south of Morocco, a land of big skies and stark mountain ranges where mud-brick kasbahs appear to rise up out of the desert, sitting in tranquil palm oases and framed by dramatic backdrops of snowcapped mountains. We ride along Morocco’s dirt roads, taking us from Marrakech to the Tichka Pass, the highest in the High Atlas, and then southward, descending along the Draa Valley to the fringes of the Sahara Desert.
