This page is for riders who do not have their own trail or enduro bikes and will be using our bikes. If you have your own bike, we can usually call on an extra guide or two, so even if the day you want is shown as booked, please enquire. We also ride on Tuesdays and Fridays with "own bike" groups. Prices for own bikes.

Availability

Although we usually only do two days together, if you require three or four days, please email or phone 01686 430522. We usually have Mondays off, with Tuesdays or Fridays as bike preparation days, but if you particularly want one of these days, please enquire. You need a motorcycle licence for trail riding.

SPARE CLOTHES

Please bring spare underwear and socks as even on a hot summer's day, you may need a change of clothing. One of the lanes we use has river crossings and water splashes which can be quite deep. In winter we provide Goretex socks, so please bring then socks to wear under them. Also bring thermal underwear if you have any! (If not, we do have a few pairs of long johns Available, please ask).

Please let us know if you suffer severely from vertigo, as this affects the route we plan.

Trail Rides Wales require the following:-

If you have a medical condition, please inform the instructor.
