With its extensive bridleway network, the Lake District has some of the best mountain biking the UK has to offer. With everything from gentle rolling forest roads to rooty and steep natural descents, there’s something for everyone.

I lead all rides with patience, encouragement and compassion. I love seeing new riders build confidence and have experience of leading nervous riders. I hold British Cycling Level 3 Mountain Bike Leader and Outdoor First Aid qualifications. I am insured by British Cycling to lead mountain bike rides.

Choose from either:

• Private guided riding for you and your friends/family. Rides selected specifically for your riding style and what you want to get out of the day using local knowledge. Spectacular views, spectacular cafes, spectacular descents, or all of the above.

  Or

• Join in a pre-organised group ride and ride with others of a similar level and fitness as you. Groups are kept to a maximum size of six riders. The technical difficulty and fitness required is listed so that you know if the ride will be right for you.

Regardless of whether you want private guiding or to join a group ride, you won’t have to worry about the details and can instead focus on enjoying your riding. All the information you require (where to meet, what to bring etc) will be provided in plenty of time before your ride, and during the ride I will do the navigating and group management so that you can focus on having fun!
