An Experienced Guide
I have been riding in the Yorkshire Dales for many years with my close friends and we have produced over 30 routes that have been published by leading journalists in the mountain bike industry. I owned and ran the 'New Inn' in Appletreewick for 21 years and have gained a substantial amount of knowledge about the history and trivia of the areas in which I ride.
I will happily tailor routes to suite all riders within a group, and will always do my very best to ensure that everyone has a great time!
As a registered guide you can be safe with the knowledge that all rides are pre-ridden, fully risk assessed, recorded and that late back procedures are in place to ensure the group's safety.
Please Note : 1-6 Riders. All bikes will have a pre-ride check. Helmets MUST be worn at all times.
