Motorcycle Trail Riding

“I just wanted to thank you both for the great weekend of trail riding. Dave, John and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves while learning so much more about bike control and balance, etc."   Karl, from London.

Many road riders are trail riding to improve their skills and widen their enjoyment of riding motorcycles.   The skills you learn whilst trail riding make you a safer road rider.   Trail riding in Wales is scenic and varied, and is suitable for riders of all abilities.

Most of our information is aimed at riders who are interested in beginning trail riding and don't yet have their own trail or enduro bike.   If you can't find the information you require, please email or phone 01686 430522.   (When emailing, please include a phone number.)

Trail Riding If You Have Your Own Bike

If you have your own trail or enduro bike (including enduro and long distance trials outfits and road legal quads) we provide guided trail riding.   Please see the Trail Riding on Your Own Bike page.

Where Will We Be Trail Riding?

We often ride near Aberystwyth or in the Machynlleth area, although occasionally we go further north or south.   All our routes have a good variety of trail riding, with hills, rock steps, stream and river crossings and a little mud (but not too much!)   For riders who prefer an easier day, we can choose a route which avoids steep hills and scary trail riding!   For those who want a more challenging day, we can take you places which provide tricky trail riding.   Usually we ride about 70 miles, but can be flexible to fit in with your requirements.

There is always some tarmac road when trail riding, and a full motorcycle licence is necessary.

If you don't have a licence, there is no problem if you ride on one of our areas of farm land.   For more details, please see Riding Off Road page.

The Motorcycles We Use for Trail Riding

We have enduro and trail bikes available, from 225cc to 400cc.   These are four Suzuki DRZ400s (three E enduro model and one S trail model), a Yamaha TTR250 and a Serow.   The Serow has a very low seat height, so is ideal for riders with shorter legs.

Although not part of our usual fleet of bikes, we also have a 125cc bike for riders on L plates, a Yamaha Lanza DT230 two-stroke and a Yamaha TTR600.


What Do I Need To Bring?

Nothing!   Well, nearly nothing – only spare socks, and, if you are riding in winter, spare trousers and thermal underwear (if you own some!)   All protective clothing is provided.   Depending on the route, we usually go to a cafe or pub at lunchtime, but if you wish to bring a packed lunch, that is fine.

“Firstly let me say a big thank you for our day out.   Both Glen and myself had a fantastic day and found you, the host, to be outstanding!   We enjoyed it so much that we would like to come again!"   Mark from Stoke-on-Trent

Availability

We usually provide riding on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.   Please see the Bookings Page for dates available.
