Wilderness Rides

Deserted trails, big views and true wilderness are waiting for you, right on our doorstep.

This part of Wales is one of the least populated in the entire country, it is described as the UK's last real wilderness outside of the Highlands ... it's quite possible to ride all day and not meet a single person.

As well as a tiny population, the area benefits from a very large network of bridleways, old drovers roads and various tracks and trails. Let us take you out into the hills, valleys and mountains so you can experience the fantastic riding for yourself. There's also a few 'secret' bits we'll take you to if you ask nicely. We know that there are as many different types of rider as there are bikes so we try to make our guiding as flexible as possible. You don't have to be super fit or a brilliant technical rider to benefit from our guiding service as we can tailor the route to suit any level of rider, the only thing we can't do is flatten the hills!



One day skills courses

We offer a one day mountain bike course which is aimed at anyone wanting to improve their riding. We will teach you the skills required to safely ride a bike over all types of terrain. Mountain biking isn't just a physical sport, certain mental skills play a large role in your ability to ride off road, learning these, along with the physical aspects should greatly increase your confidence to take on whatever you come across whilst out riding.

Skills covered include:

Correct body position and understanding its effect.
Braking technique and speed control.
Cornering - high speed.
Cornering - low speed.
Trail obstacles at high speed.
Dealing with drops and jumps.
Line choice and reading the trail.
General descending.
Altering your perception (beating the fear).
