It was great to get Nathan back on the show and get updated on everything that has been going on over the last few years and as we all know a lot has changed over that time. Nathan first appeared on the show in episode 50 in August 2018 (see below) and had been running his Enduro Malaga guiding business for around a year at that time. His business went from strength to strength and he was pretty much fully booked most weeks. It’s a good way for us gays and gals to escape the winter months at home!

Then Covid hit and things changed very quickly. Nathan had to quickly do a 180 and Nathan being Nathan wasn’t going to sit around and do nothing, as fate would have it and with a mixture of chance and entrepreneurial genius Nathan started a farming business delivering fresh fruit to expats etc that were heavily affected with the lockdowns put in place. Nathan built this into a full time gig and learned a load of stuff about farming, getting produce to market, or in this case getting it to people that were locked in their homes. Nathan educated himself on crazy stuff like soll types and ph percentages etc, but I know very little about it and I am sure you don’t listen to this podcast to hear about farming so we will leave that at that. Nathan can tell you a lot more!

Now that things have opened up and we are hopefully getting back to some form of normality, Enduro Malaga is back in full swing and is now bigger and better. Nathan has scouted, maintained and built a load of new trial networks (don’t tell the police! You can find out more about that by tuning into the show) making his offering even more expansive. They now even offer a gravel bike guiding option which before the covid lockdowns was getting very popular. There is really something for everyone and all the packages are tailored to your needs.

Nathan has massive future plans for Enduro Malaga and is putting plans into motion to safeguard his business from another massive covid outbreak or something similar. He has already started sourcing land and has a clear vision for what he wants to achieve. It sounds amazing and I hope he can pull it off which I am sure he will. Nathan doesn’t do things in halves and I look forward to this new adventure in the development of Enduro Malaga.

As a listener of the podcast you can also get 10% OFF your trip with Enduro Malaga. Simply mention that you heard about Enduro Malaga through the MTB TRIBE PODCAST when booking and Nathan will happily discount your package price by 10%. It is that simple!

So put your feet up for an hour and tune in to hear more about Nathan’s future plans for Enduro Malaga, how you can get involved and why riding bikes beats farming anyday, plus loads more!
