The Routes
Beginners
The rides can be adapted quickly to meet the needs of the group. Our experienced guide is sympathetic to the needs of all the riders in a group and will ensure that you will get as much or as little guidance as you need. By the end of a short break, under you leader’s guidance, you will have the confidence to ride up, down and over obstacles that you were unable to previously. This will enable you to get the most out of your weekend, when you finish you'll leave feeling tired, but with a real sense of achievement.
Intermediate
For the more experienced rider our guides will take you out on more challenging routes, exploring the rougher terrain that can be found over Dartmoor. Our guides will put you through your paces and then take you to another level. Helping you to learn new skills to help you tackle trails you dreamed of doing but never thought you'd have the skills or confidence to traverse. If you’re still gagging for more we can squeeze another short ride in but don't say we didn't warn you.....!
Expert
Are you an experienced mountain biker looking for a fresh and exciting experience? We can provide this. Some of the trails over the moor are legendary with some really tough and technical riding to be had. There are some very steep climbs, the views are amazing and coming down the other side is even better. Our guides will help you connect with your bike on a new level and help you brush up on all your skills and develop some new ones. You'll be using muscles (and gears) you never thought you had. If this isn't enough we can arrange a visit to the excellent North Shore section built in Abbeyford woods for a real test of your technical ability.
