Not what I expected. Disappointing bikes and trails.
Trailblazers Pro的点评
点评：I've just returned from a 3 day tour with Trailblazers-Pro and sadly have to report that I was very disappointed.
We opted for a package that included 3 days riding and 4 nights stay at the Posada La Plaza hotel. The hotel was pleasant and is set within a beautiful courtyard. It has a small restaurant and bar that offers exceptional food and a good selection of drinks, all at very reasonable prices. None of us had any complaints about the hotel other than the short supply of hot water, but I expect this is common in rural spain in winter.
The disappointment started on our first day's riding. We arrived at the Trailblazers garage to find a collection of various old bikes of all different makes and models, all very tired looking and most of them leaking dirty oil. The equipment didn't look much better either. Thankfully I had my own, but those riders that didn't had to pick from ripped trousers, old looking scratched up helmets and boots that I wouldn't want to put my feet in.
As we set off, it was instantly very clear that these bikes simply are not maintained as they should be. My own bike had a completely flat rear tyre, another had no brake fluid in the reservoir and several of the bikes were troublesome to start, smoked badly and would not idle properly. Clearly very little preparation prior to our arrival and every single one had issues.
Nevertheless, we set off and tried to make the best of what we had to work with. I could only describe the trails as tame. They are mostly concrete and dust road tracks along the hillsides and at least 80% of the "trails" ridden could be driven in a small hatchback car. The views are very nice, but don't expect any kind of technical riding. If you've never ridden a dirt bike before, then you might be entertained, but if you even just ride greenlanes in the UK, you'll likely get bored quick and will find the pace slow.
Our second day's riding was cancelled from the start. Cloud had descended on to the village and there was drizzle in the air, all completely beyond the control of the operator. Our guide was insistant that the visibility was too poor and in the interest of safety, all riding was cancelled for the day. No offer or even suggestion of any other activities for the day and a full or partial refund denied. It felt like he'd seized a golden opportunity to cancel and have the day off. We paid for a taxi to Malaga and had a very enjoyable day. Even a contribution towards our taxi cost would have gone a long way.
Day 3 was much the same as day 1 and revealed more bike problems. My own bike had almost no clutch action, the kiskstart kept falling off (no electric start), no kill switch and the handlebar grips kepts sliding off. To make things worse, halfway through the morning the bike decided to get stuck at almost maximum rpm with no means to shut the bike off other than restraining it on the brakes and stalling it out.
Another rider had no oil filler cap which had fallen out on the first day and had a stick wedged in the filler neck. Another had no damping on the front forks. Another lost use of the rear brake halfway through the day. All bikes had side cases cracked and were leaking fluids through bodged up glue job repairs. Several had very worn tyres, one had a back tyre that was rubbing on the chain. If I had to descride the bikes with one word, it would be Dangerous. Absolutely not fit for purpose.
I went on to learn that the Owner & primary guide, Graham, is trying to sell the business, but in all honesty it's not a business and there is very little of any value to sell. Graham is now much older than the photo on his website and going by the trophies in the garage once had some glory days riding with his son competitively.
Sadly though, it is clear that he has lost the love and either lacks the resources or the desire to re-invest some money and bring the operation up to standard.
Seeing as the operator claims to take safety very seriously, they would in my opinion be very wise to close this operation down before somebody gets seriously injured by one of these worn out bikes - There is no shame in calling it a day and walking away with your head held high. Or even re-opening again after things out.
Lastly, I would like to say that I don't take any pleasure in writing bad reviews, but in this instance I want to prevent anyone taking the time off work and spending their hard earned money, only to be disappointed in the same way that I was. Similarly, I hope the operator takes on board the issues raised.

翻译：我刚刚结束了与 Trailblazers-Pro 为期 3 天的旅行，很遗憾地要说，我非常失望。
我们选择了一个套餐，其中包括 3 天骑行和 4 晚入住 Posada La Plaza 酒店。这家酒店很舒适，坐落在一个美丽的庭院内。酒店设有一间小餐厅和酒吧，提供美味的食物和精选的饮品，价格都非常合理。除了热水供应不足外，我们对酒店没有任何抱怨，但我想这在西班牙农村的冬天很常见。
失望始于我们第一天的骑行。我们到达 Trailblazers 车库时，发现一堆各种不同品牌和型号的旧自行车，看起来都很破旧，而且大多数都在漏脏油。设备看起来也好不到哪里去。幸好我有自己的自行车，但那些没有自行车的骑手们就得从破烂的裤子、破旧的、有划痕的头盔和我不想穿的靴子中挑选。
当我们出发时，我们立刻就发现这些自行车根本没有得到应有的保养。我自己的自行车后轮胎完全瘪了，另一辆自行车的油箱里没有刹车油，有几辆自行车启动困难，冒着浓烟，怠速不正常。显然，我们到达前准备不足，每辆自行车都有问题。
尽管如此，我们还是出发了，并尽力做到最好。我只能把这些小径形容为平淡无奇。它们大多是沿着山坡的混凝土和尘土飞扬的路面，至少 80% 的“小径”都可以用小型掀背车行驶。景色非常美丽，但不要指望有任何技术性的骑行。如果您以前从未骑过越野摩托车，那么您可能会觉得很有趣，但如果您只是在英国的绿道上骑行，您很可能很快就会感到无聊，并且会发现骑行速度很慢。
我们第二天的骑行从一开始就被取消了。云层笼罩着村庄，空中飘着毛毛雨，这一切都完全超出了操作员的控制范围。我们的导游坚持认为能见度太差，出于安全考虑，当天的所有骑行都被取消了。没有提供或建议当天的任何其他活动，并且拒绝全额或部分退款。感觉他抓住了一个取消并休息一天的黄金机会。我们付了出租车费去马拉加，度过了非常愉快的一天。即使是分担我们的出租车费用也会有很大帮助。
第三天与第一天大致相同，发现了更多自行车问题。我自己的自行车几乎没有离合器动作，kiskstart 一直掉下来（没有电启动），没有紧急开关，车把把手一直滑落。更糟糕的是，上午骑了一半的时候，自行车几乎以最大转速卡住了，除了踩刹车让它熄火之外，没有其他办法可以让它熄火。
另一位骑手的加油口盖在第一天就掉了，加油口里卡了一根棍子。另一位骑手的前叉没有阻尼。还有一位骑手的后刹车在半天的时候坏了。所有自行车的侧箱都裂了，而且由于胶水修补工作不力，漏出了液体。有几辆自行车的轮胎磨损严重，其中一辆的后轮胎与链条摩擦。如果要我用一个词来形容这些自行车，那就是危险。绝对不适合使用。
我后来了解到，车主兼主要导游 Graham 正在试图出售这家企业，但老实说，这不是一门企业，也没有什么价值可卖。格雷厄姆现在比他网站上的照片老多了，从车库里的奖杯来看，他曾经和儿子一起参加过比赛，度过了一段辉煌的时光。
但遗憾的是，很明显他已经失去了爱，要么缺乏资源，要么不想再投资一些钱，让运营达到标准。
鉴于运营商声称非常重视安全，我认为他们应该在有人被这些破旧的自行车严重伤害之前关闭这家运营点——收工并昂首阔步走开并不丢人。或者在事情结束后重新开业。
最后，我想说，我并不喜欢写坏评论，但在这种情况下，我想防止任何人请假花掉辛苦赚来的钱，结果却和我一样失望。同样，我希望运营商能考虑到提出的问题。
