bike skills coachingIf the adage 'it's not the bike it's the rider' is true, then when you book a Forest Freeride coaching course you'll be buying the best mountain bike upgrade possible.

Our years of bike skills coaching experience have given us a truly in-depth understanding of not only how riders behave physically but also how they think and why they react to things the way they do. Using this knowledge and combining it with our passion for all things mountain bike, means that you'll probably not only leave with a new set of bike skills and a boost in confidence but also a totally different perspective on riding.

Have a look at the coaching page and see how we can help you become the rider you want to be.

guided rides and tripsThe feeling of riding new trails in new places is fantastic but finding the good stuff can be a time consuming and often frustrating experience. Our base at the northern tip of the Cambrian mountains offers limitless opportunities to explore this wild area of mid Wales‚ come with us and we'll remove the guesswork and dead-ends, all you'll have to do is enjoy the ride.

For those looking for something a little different or a bit more adventurous, we offer overnight and multi-day bikepacking trips right into the heart of the mountains. Visit the Guiding and trips page to start your next mountain bike adventure.

bikepacking eventsBikepacking is often thought of as a solitary pursuit or something done in small groups of one or two, that doesn't have to be the case though. Events like the Bear Bones 200, Mach 'n Back and the near legendary Welsh Ride Thing, open up different opportunities and give people the chance to ride with others or maybe test themselves against the clock.

MACH 'N BACK
A 2 day/1 night winter event, where the emphasis is very much on socialising.
more>>>

THE WELSH RIDE THING
Possibly the biggest bikepacking event in the world, with all the proceeds given to charity.

BEAR BONES 200
A 200km route through the heart of mid Wales. How fast can you complete it?
