WHAT TO EXPECT
Riding off-road is both challenging physically and mentally.Trail riding in the UK is a mixture of riding on off-road trails and sealed road, all forming part of the UK road and transport network, thus the UK road regulations apply. This does not mean the trails are easy to ride and change constantly with the time of year and weather conditions.
This is a group riding experience, enjoying the countryside and your surroundings but riders should be prepared for a challenging day
