Astounding Adventures | November Newsletter
As the nights draw in, Trick or Treaters terrorise the neighbourhood and the smell of gunpowder fills the air, one can only be reminded of the even greater horror of what lies ahead... Christmas shopping!
Luckily, we've got just the thing if you're looking to treat the mountain biker, rock climber or hill walker in the family; Astounding Adventures gift vouchers. Why drag yourself in the rain around the shops looking for ideas when a call to Astounding Adventures could solve your Christmas gift headaches?
Also in Christmas news this month, as we come to the end of our bike hire season, we have our annual ex-hire bike sale. If you're looking for a bargain bike to give as a present, have a look at the second-hand bikes we have on offer.
Finally our competition this month is to win a mountain bike tricks and techniques book from publisher Cordee. To enter you just need to become a fan of our Facebook page.
See you on the hill soon!

Ex-hire bike sale
Bargains galore as we sell our 2011 summer hire fleet
Every year we sell off our summer hire fleet ready to buy new for the coming season. This year we've already sold half of our bikes, but we still have a few left if you're looking for a bargain second-hand bike.
We calculate the price by dropping the sale price 1.5% off the Suggested Retail Price for every time the bike has been hired out. Each bike is cleaned and given a full service before we hand it over to it's new owner.
Here's what we have available at the moment:

Adventure Racing
Tri-Adventure Autumn 2012 Race Series
The final Tri-Adventure Race of the autumn series is coming up soon on the 20th of November at Albury Cricket Club in the heart of The North Downs
A Tri-Adventure race is a great introduction to adventure racing with most races lasting less than two hours; a far cry from the multi-day epics that you often see on TV.
As usual we'll be giving every competitor a 20% discount voucher off our Mountain Bike, Navigation and Adventure Racing courses.
Don't worry if you haven't got your own bike, you can hire a bike for the race from as little as £20.00.
