Yes, all year long! We have a subtropical Mediterranean climate (even though we are in the Atlantic, at the level of Morocco), so that means mild winter temperatures (and not too hot summers) Sure, there are slightly higher chances of rain at high altitudes (we can start at 1850m), but the trails are always rideable, and you'll end up relaxing at sea-level with 20°C
I've been there riding the exact same trails about a week ago; feels like being back there. This island is a true MTB paradise.
On a side note I can do nothing but strongly recommend to go for guided tours with Bikuture, the owner is a extremely friendly, passioned and dedicated to his job.
We could sell you one from our shop, but if you live in Canada, i suppose the best is to find your closest EVOC dealer here: wearepassion.com/?page_id=615
Attention filmmakkers - where possible, steer clear of tracks that have been used in big MTB movies previously. It undermines the great work you've done filming and riding etc. Why? Because (for me at least) it reminds me of the segment where I've heard the song before, which means I start thinking about the riding in that segment. Usually it's absolutely top notch (in this instance Stevie and Gee) and makes the great edit you've done seem less impressive by comparison.
Thank you for the advice. I also prefer 'new" music, as there is plenty available.. Stefanie, the rider, selected this track as she is a great Stevie Smith fan, and the scene in "Seasons" with his mom shuttling inspired her to race DH. Cheers for the constructive criticism!
See you soon on the trails of Madeira
