About Riders Retreat

Riders Retreat was set up in 2003 by Paul Thomas and Alan Milway who had met at The University of Birmingham jointly running the hugely successful mountain bike club there.

Having graduated the pair wanted to take their passion for mountain biking and a good working partnership to create a business in the favourite mountain biking spot - Morzine.

Alan has since left Riders Retreat to pursue a teaching career leaving Paul to run the show.

Riders Retreat has always been a popular choice among keen cyclists due to involvement in the mountain bike scene, through downhill racing as well as attending various events and general riding throughout the UK.

The key to Riders Retreat's success is our clear focus - always providing mountain bike holidays we would want to go on ourselves and employing great members of staff.
