“Navigating a career in the mountain bike industry as a young woman has never been a walk in the park, so when I first met Catherine, I instantly knew I wanted to work for her.
“She’s proof that success in a male-dominated industry isn’t about being the loudest in the room but about knowing your worth, staying true to your vision, and lifting others up along the way.”
Jodie, our Tour Specialist, sat down with the driving force behind H+I Adventures - co-founder and CEO Catherine Shearer - to discuss how her career began, the challenges of forging a career as a woman, and how businesses can support young women in achieving success.

On our Skye + Raasay adventure, you’ll take on the challenge of conquering Dún Caan (or 'Dùn Cana' in Scottish Gaelic), the highest summit on Raasay.
According to island legend, Cana was a formidable warrior who claimed this peak as his stronghold and lookout, or 'dún'. Reaching the summit is no easy feat—you’ll tackle technical climbs and steep hike-a-bike sections—but the breathtaking views back toward Skye will make every effort worthwhile.

For centuries, the Kingdom of Bhutan remained untouched by outside influence, allowing its rich tapestry of cultures and unique traditions to flourish. When it opened its doors to the world in the mid-20th century, it offered a glimpse into a nation that has embraced modernity while steadfastly preserving its heritage.
In 2019, H+I founder Euan teamed up with local MTB legend @peldendorji to explore this lesser-travelled region of the Himalayas, and from that collaboration, our Spiritual MTB Adventure was born.
But what makes this adventure stand out from the rest? Read more about makes the Kingdom of Bhutan the ultimate adventure for mountain bikers in our newest blog post.
Thinking of going solo for your next adventure? It might feel daunting, but trust us—you’ll never regret sharing epic trails with people just as passionate about adventure as you.
“To think I was nervous about going on this trip. Travelling alone, aged 53, riding with strangers. Really? In the weeks before doubts started appearing.
“It would have been a massive mistake to miss this trip. Whoever you are, wherever you live, solo or not, get yourself and your bike to Slovenia with H+I.”
- Simon, UK, who joined us for his first solo MTB adventure in Slovenia back in 2023.

As you mountain bike through Croatia, from the lush green of the interior, to the turquoise blue of the Adriatic coast, you’ll also experience a wonderful culinary journey.
In the oak forests around Motovun and Grožnjan, you’ll find both black and white truffles, and these feature heavily in the local cuisine. From truffle in your scrambled eggs to the chocolate mouse in your dessert - it’s truffle three times a day here!
As you move towards the Adriatic, seafood becomes king, along with a heady selection of wines. After a day of spectacular trails, we’ll settle down in our favourite restaurant on the harbour to feast on fish and shellfish caught the very same morning.

Our coast-to-coast adventure in the Scottish Highlands is an adventure in every sense of the word.
Starting in the east coast village of Bonar Bridge, you’ll ride over 250km of wild, rugged landscape to reach your final destination on the Applecross Peninsula. Tough climbs, long days and wet feet will all be well rewarded with some of the most spectacular descents in the world.

This week, we’re turning the spotlight onto our fantastic international guide team! Up first is qualified vet-turned mountain bike guide in Slovenia, Blaž!
“After qualifying as a vet, I spent many years working as a coach in the pharmaceuticals industry before realising that my destiny lay in the mountains, rather than the office.
“I still wanted to use my coaching skills, so now I can combine these skills with my passion for mountain biking, as a guide and trainer.
“Being able to spend a week or more with like-minded people, sharing my favourite trails in Slovenia, and seeing riders improve their skills and grow in confidence day-by-day is the most satisfying feeling I know."
Sharing the trails with Blaž is an absolute pleasure, and we can’t wait to head back to Slovenia in 2025 to make some more memories!

📣What’s your job at H+I Adventures?
I’m co-founder of H+I Adventures. My guiding days are now few and far between, so my main focus is on tour and business development. This means travelling the world to find exciting new destinations and crafting all the little details that go into every adventure. It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it!
📣What's your favourite tour/destination that we ride in and why?
It has to be Bhutan. The trails are out of this world, the culture is so strong and special, and its landscapes are breathtaking. The people are some of the kindest and most welcoming people I have ever met. I’m looking forward to heading back out there next year for the next International Yeti Gathering!
📣 How long have you been riding for?
30+ years!
📣 What's your favourite trail snack?
Jelly sweets.
📣 What is an interesting fact about you?

As winter settles over the Northern Hemisphere, you might already be mapping out your next mountain biking adventure for 2025. If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience, consider setting your sights on the Scottish Highlands—the heart and soul of Scotland and the home of H+I Adventures.
Small in size but big in personality, this corner of the globe is a destination like no other. Wild, windswept, and hauntingly beautiful, the Scottish Highlands capture the hearts of all who visit and have become increasingly popular among thrill-seeking mountain bikers over the last 15 years.
Are we piquing your interest? If so, you can read more about why the Scottish Highlands should be your next adventure in our newest blog post. Link below!
We’re H+I and we’re made from adventure. We believe that it shapes us, moulds us, and makes us who we are. That’s why we specialise in crafting life-affirming mountain bike and e-mountain bike tours worldwide. That’s all we do.
H+I Adventures grew from a passion for mountain bike travel and a desire to do things better. The traditional style of mountain bike travel – shuttle up, ride down, and repeat – didn’t excite us. As people who lived to travel and immerse ourselves in new places and cultures, we were looking for more.
We wanted to craft our own mountain bike tours that reflected and fuelled our passion for experiencing the world on two wheels. Most importantly, this meant they had to be developed with and led by expert local guides.
Together, we painstakingly craft, not only the routes you’ll ride, but every aspect of your adventure – from the finest local food and drink, to the most welcoming accommodations – carefully orchestrating extraordinary experiences that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Here at H+I, we’ve been excited all week to welcome riders back to the Kingdom of Bhutan for another spiritual adventure, starting Sunday.
It’s had us reminiscing on our last visit to Bhutan in April. We were joined by Kristina, who travelled all the way from Australia to experience trails few have ever ridden.
“There’s no feeling quite like reaching the bottom of the trail, everyone grinning from ear to ear, knowing that we survived another wild ride. And believe it or not, that’s just the warm-up for the morning. After filling our bellies with a picnic lunch, we’re off to tackle the next adventure.”

Big climbs are rewarded with epic descents on our Chile adventure!
On this 8-day adventure, you’ll ride across the stunning landscape of the Lakes and Volcanoes region, tackling a different type of terrain each day. After descending through the lava fields of active volcanoes and thick monkey puzzle forests, you’ll find yourself grinning from ear to ear, ready for whatever the next trail brings!

In 2025, we’re celebrating 10 years of the International Yeti Gathering with one of our biggest adventures yet. Grab your Yeti and join us on a spiritual mountain bike journey to the Kingdom of Bhutan.
In a world that’s always in a rush, Bhutan provides a quiet sanctuary for mountain bikers to test their mettle. Situated on the Eastern edge of the Himalayas, the rugged mountains and lush valleys are home to a plethora of spectacular trails just waiting to be enjoyed.
Under the care of our expert local guide, Pelden, you’ll get to experience first hand the mosaic of cultures, tradition and modern innovation that makes Bhutan unique.
Whilst we promise world-class descents and unforgettable landscapes, we’re pretty sure the people and culture of Bhutan will also become a highlight of your time.
For all our Yeti Cycles enthusiasts, it’s an adventure not to be missed! Find out how you can join us in 2025 through the link below:
Next up on our ‘Meet the Team' series is Catherine or ’Cat' as she's more commonly known as at HQ!
📣 What do you do at H+I Adventures?
As Co-Founder and CEO, my role is to oversee marketing, customer service, sales and look after our staff at H+I Adventures.
📣 What's your favourite tour/destination that we ride in and why?
That's like asking to pick a favourite child! I genuinely don't have a favourite tour because they're all special in their own way. I love the culture and warmth of the people in Morocco; the diversity of trails in Chile; the food, riding and laid-back vibe of Tuscany; and the completely unique experience of mountain biking through the desert of Namibia, amongst elephant, giraffe, kudu…
📣 How long have you been riding for?
Longer than I care to admit! 20 years this year - how did that happen?!
📣 What's your favourite trail snack?
I like a substantial snack bar with lots of nuts, raisins, maybe a bit of chocolate.
📣 What is an interesting fact about you?
Hm, I don't know... I’m a bit of a foodie and you’ll probably find me at my most animated when eating!

H+I Adventures: Setting the standard in international mountain bike and e-mountain bike travel.
If you’re not happy with the situation, change it. That’s what we did when we created H+I Adventures, back in 2007. Mountain bike travel in the early days was unimaginative and uninspiring: shuttle up, ride down, stay in a chalet… rinse and repeat.
As people who lived to travel with our mountain bikes and immerse ourselves in new places and cultures, this wasn’t good enough for us. So, we decided to disrupt the status quo, start afresh and set about crafting our very own international mountain bike adventures; ones that really fuelled and reflected our passion for experiencing the world on two wheels.
More importantly, we wanted these to be experiences that we would be proud to share with other adventurous mountain bikers – like you. Because, as we all know, there’s nothing better than the elation of exceeding (what you thought were) your own limits, then looking around to see that same feeling etched on the faces of all your riding buddies.
At H+I Adventures we specialise in MTB and E-MTB tours. That’s all we do. We’re passionate about exploring the world by mountain bike, and our tours are a carefully crafted combination of physical challenges and cultural adventures.
From the very first seed of an idea, we painstakingly craft every aspect of our adventures – be it an MTB or E-MTB tour. Working with local experts across the globe we consider every moment of your tour, creating life-affirming experiences that you’ll cherish forever.
In the words of one rider from Colorado: “These trips are never just a ‘biking holiday’ for me. They are life altering experiences, that not only make me a better rider, but a better human as well.”
We believe that adventure shapes, moulds us, makes us who we are. We're made from adventure.
