Why Israel?

Why ride in Israel?  Why not!
Let’s hear what IMBA Trail Specialist Joey Klein, who spent 10 days in Israel in 2005 has to say! 

“In Israel, mountain biking is growing at a phenomenal rate. With a population of around 6.5 million, there are 500,000 mountain bikers. In "The land of miracles" you can ride everyday, from the cool northern forests of the Galilee to the blazing Red Sea desert of Eilat in the south.”

 A broad network of trails link historical and biblical sites in a variety of terrains and surfaces. Jerusalem at 800 meters is a four-hour ride away from the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth, at minus 200 meters. And there are hundreds more examples. The elaborate network of trails links coastal plains to hilly forests and onto crusty deserts.

Let’s not forget the weather. The ideal climate enables year-round biking adventures although we do recommend that July and August be a more leisurely tour.

On or off-road, your choice of tour in this unique land will be a ride that will remain forever in your heart.
