Devon is the perfect place for mountain biking, with such beautiful scenery and miles of countryside it is perfect for getting out on the bike. I have lived in Devon the whole of my life so have a wealth of backcountry riding experience to share. Guided mountain bike tours will be provided throughout a number of locations using a variety of trails. They will provide you with new mountain bike trails you may never have seen before, push you as a mountain biker and most of all provide you with a great day out on the bike meeting new people. These guided adventures are perfect for people who want a fun day out with a nice group of fellow riders, or if you are down on holiday and fancy a day out discovering new trails. It is always great spending a day out riding with a new group of people.

Dartmoor Haldon Coastal rides Off Road Group & Solo Adventures
The riding in Devon is really phenomenal, getting someone else's perspective and seeing what trails they ride is always good. As these are guided adventures there will be certain areas of the trails we stop at and session. I will provide feedback and demonstrations, so you will leave the day feeling a more confident rider.
The guided adventure will be a 3 - 4 hour ride and will have a variety of riding provided, depending on which tour you choose but most of them will have a variety of natural single track, steep uphill climbs, open riding, jumps, corners, steep rooty, rocky sections and nice smooth trails. There is something for everyone out there, this is ideal if you are a family and fancy having a ride but want some advice and tips along the way. Tips of your bike set up, riding, body position or training regime, whatever it is, I'm happy to answer all on the ride. These experienced local guides will provide you with everything you need to know, so look forward to having a great day out on the bike!

Devons Coast
The Devon Coast is an amazing place to see and has a huge variation in terrain. The advantage of using your bike is that you get to the places which normally would take a long time to reach by foot.
Haldon is an iconic riding spot in Devon and provides great mountain bike trails, from rock gardens to natural single track, there's something for everyone. They have official trails there but also a variety of ‘unofficial off piste, with lots of ‘hidden gems’ to be found this makes for a great day out on the bike! With lots of other people out cycling at Haldon it provides a friendly and motivating atmosphere.
Dartmoor provides us with 368 square miles of vast moorland, beautiful forests, craggy landscape, rivers, wetlands, tors and most of all amazing bike trails. Dartmoor provides a great day out on the bike.
