Mountain biking Adventure
We’ve teamed up with brilliant local guides for our exclusive women-only mountain biking days in the Cotswolds. Created for beginners and intermediate riders, we will spend the day cycling on single track routes and quiet bridleways, exploring the beautiful Cotswolds countryside!
Bike hire and a helmet are included! It’s an excellent opportunity to try a new sport, to get out in nature and explore without needing to invest in your own equipment.
Our guides are British Cycling qualified Leaders who’ll offer great coaching throughout the day, getting you comfortable riding different terrains and building up to some fun descents!
We’ll be cycling for around 5-6 hours, covering from 30 to 65 km on varied tracks and trails, taking time to pause to take in the incredible views and maybe stopping for refreshments at a local cafe or pub on the way too!
This is a full-day adventure exploring stunning landscapes, learning new skills, building confidence on the bike and sharing a super fun day in the company of new friends!
Level 1
Our Level 1 days are created for complete beginners! You don’t need to have any previous mountain biking experience, you just need to know how to ride a bike.
We’ll start the day with basic skills and as the day progresses you’ll build your confidence riding on varied terrain and enjoy some exhilarating downhill sections too!
