Planned Bike Adventures

Thoughtfully designed routes, ready to join

 What to expect at a Planned Bike Adventure

  • Preplanned MTB or gravel route with mixed fire track & singletrack
  • Relaxed, social pace; small groups (up to 6)
  • Predetermined café or local pub stop (sitdown)
  • Guideprovided picnic to finish
  • Halfday or fullday options
  • Ebikes welcome

Ideal if you want an easy, nofuss booking, enjoy small social groups, or you’re visiting and want a great introduction to local trails.

 

Some riders like to join the carefully planned day and see where it leads.
Others prefer to shape something together in advance and create their very own Bespoke Adventure. Both are guided with the same laidback approach, local knowledge, and attention to detail.

What Does a Planned Day Look Like?

Every ride is a little different, but the rhythm stays the same – unhurried, sociable, and shaped around the people on it.

We Meet & Set the Tone
We’ll meet at a relaxed starting point, check bikes, chat about the route, and agree what kind of day everyone’s after. The plan stays flexible.

Riding, Exploring & Taking It In
Expect a flowing mix of fire tracks and singletrack, open views, and places worth stopping for. The pace is steady and conversational. Ebikes welcome; routes are adjusted so the group rides together.

A Proper Stop
We’ll build in a proper café stop (or a friendly local pub, depending on the route and group) for a sitdown, a drink, and something to eat.
More Trails, More Views

Half Day or Full Day?

Both options are unhurried, social, and guided with care – the difference is simply how much time we have to explore.

Start/finish times and routes adapt to the group, weather, and feel of the day.
