Mountain Biking near London - Surrey Hills Singletrack

The Surrey Hills offers some of the best Mountain Biking near London with stunning views, nice tracks and gives a real sense of leaving the city behind for a day. The benchmark for guided mountain bike rides on the Surrey Hills is our famous and classic ‘Singletrack Adventure’. Now running for its fourth year in a row, this ride proves to be as popular as ever, with many riders coming back for more and more each month. The reason that sets this apart from other guided rides on the Surrey Hills, is all down to the format and the sociable element of a Marmalade MTB ride. We cover three of the main hills and inject as much flowing, fast singletrack as you can handle. This day out is the perfect introduction to mountain biking on this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. All within an hour of London.
