Our riding style is focused on enjoyment and adventure as opposed to white knuckle down hill descents.

We run a number of 2 day packages catering for newcomers to experienced riders ensuring that you get the most out of your time with us. You will need a moderate level of fitness to get the most out of the weekend, as there will be a few hills to climb!
