Are there any groups or tours that do downhill mountain biking in Lebanon? I would imagine there would be since there are a lot of great mountain bike trails but can’t seem to find any info about them on Google.
Update: Thanks to Joe I found the following [Link]
Update2: Found a great post about these guys who rode practically across the Lebanese mountain on their bikes. Very hardcore but thats expected since one of the guys was Lebanese adventurer Maxime Chaya. [Part 1] [Part 2]
Check http://www.pine-land.com.
I’ve never been there but i heard they have mountain biking and tons of other activities.
looks like its for kids
Not really. The place from what i know is huge and frequented by young people not just kids.
If you want, i am going on a biking trip in a month or so. We used to do it yearly, it starts in Hrajel and ends in Afqa. We basically bike on the road but it’s a mountain road, so lots of bumps and holes and everything.
I’m not young 🙂
Anyway as long as your bike trek is downhill it sounds like fun.
Yes we have check: http://tinyurl.com/33o4cmu and this: http://tinyurl.com/3yd6t59
Joe thanks, the first link the guys do mountain biking except they ride their mountain bikes on roads which doesn’t make sense to me. I was hoping to ride my mountain bike down the mountain.. off road 🙂
The second link on the other hand seems perfect
Wow these guys are hardcore. Definitely much much more than what I can handle but would love to try it one day.

I have moved to New Zealand more than 10 years ago. I have kept an eye online on MTB activities in Lebanon. It is very unfortunate that most people there have other priorities…
I ride downhill bike in lebanon
