Hike and Bike The Sierras

Hike + Bike the Sierras is run by English couple Heather Cooper and Wayne Pickering. "We first visited Ronda in 2012 and fell in love with the town and the surrounding countryside. We explored the area a little back then but found a distinct lack of accessible information, reliable maps or marked biking or hiking routes. We realised that there was untapped potential, so we returned to set up our business as guides and holiday hosts. Now we have the pleasure of introducing people to this wonderfully unspoilt landscape and the two protected Natural Parks which extend for many kilometres each side of the town." Wayne is a fully qualified British Cycling Level 2 Mountain Bike Leader. He loves being out on his bike, both guiding rides or exploring new routes. He has unbeatable knowledge of the unmarked trails around the Serrania de Ronda, Grazalema Natural Park, Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park and down to the Costa del Sol. Heather has a background in marketing and hospitality. She is British Cycling trained for Mountain Bike rides, assists Wayne on larger group rides and leads our walks. She enjoys building relationships with hotel and accommodation owners and coordinates all the details of our day trips and tours.
