In our third edition of ‘Meet your mountain bike guides’ we introduce Euan Wilson, head mountain bike guide in Scotland and co-owner of H&I Adventures.

Name: Euan Wilson
Home town: Inverness, capital of the Highlands of Scotland
Family: (soon-to-be) wife, Catherine
Bike: Cove Hustler (white)
Favourite trails: “That’s a difficult one because I’ve had the privilege to ride in so many fabulous places, but if pressed…Torridon and Skye in Scotland for the real technical challenge; the trails of the Sierra Norte in Mexico for their amazing flow; and the ride from Jomsom to Kagbeni in Nepal because, well, it’s indescribable really.”
Most known for: catch-phrase: “It’s just around the next corner…”

“I started mountain biking with friends when I was about 20 and was instantly hooked. At that time I was very into music, but my beloved hi-fi system soon began to gather dust as most of my spare time was spent out on the trails around Glasgow and in the Highlands. I decided to turn my passion into a business five or so years ago and now I love showing clients the joy of discovering new trails and beautiful places by bike.”

Happy new year mountain bikers!

We hope you had a fantastic night and made some interesting and exciting resolutions over a glass of wine.  We had a great 2011 and enjoyed the company of many fantastic customers, worked with lots of very professional people, and rode our bikes in some of the best locations around the globe.

We are looking forward to working hard in 2012 to continue offering you world-class mountain biking tours, and the challenges and awesome adventures that come from that.

If you have been considering a tour with H&I Adventures then 2012 might be the year for that trip. We have our Scottish favourites: Torridon and Skye, and Coast-to-Coast tours; and two new adventures aimed at the beginner to intermediate rider: the Cairngorms adventure tour, and our Tastes and Trails of Scotland tour.  To add to that we have introduced some amazing tours in Spain, Mexico and Nepal – exciting new countries, but the same high quality and life-affirming experiences that we have been delivering in Scotland for the past five years.

We always love to hear from our customers and followers, and you can connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo and Google+, and of course, via email or on the telephone: +44 (0)1463 239716 and toll free from US/Canada on 1 888-228-50-35

We look forward to riding with you in 2012!
