What to Expect:
NOTE - if you aren’t a member here you’ll need to buy a day pass, more details below
This is a social ride for anyone above beginner level and it’s worth noting that we will not necessarily stick to the easiest trails on the hill, we will explore whatever the group wants to ride- but you'll never be pressured to do something you don't want to do.
We will meet in the spot listed below, get acquainted and head out for a bit of a warm up. When warm and ready, we’ll head up and check out some of the trails, then we can take it from there.
Twisted Oaks is famed for its jump lines and flowy progression trails, so we will have a lot of fun exploring the hill and Izzy is a knowledgable and encouraging group leader.
We will have a ‘lunch break’ of sorts in the middle of the day; there’s a food truck at the bike park, or you can bring your own pack-up. After lunch we can decide if we want to keep shredding or call it a day, you can always finish up whenever you need to.
It’s a super loose structure; we won’t be rushing to get done, we won’t be pushing to tick off features, and we won’t be forcing anyone to ride anything they aren’t comfortable with- the aim is to have fun and ride bikes!
No pressure, just good times!

Where to Meet Us:
Izzy will be ready and waiting in the car park by the cabin at 09:45, ready to ride for 10 am (we’re not going to hang around too long, so try to be on time so you don’t miss the ride).
You can contact our ambassadors via the event page on our facebook group (link at the top of this page). If you are running late, please let them know.

What Should you Bring?:
Equipment
It’s super important to note that we will not ride with anyone who is not wearing a helmet!
Other than that, the protective gear that you bring is up to you- we normally ride with knee / elbow pads and maybe gloves, depending on the conditions. You’ll also need a bike that is trail suitable, safe and in working order so we can avoid repairs at the start of the day.
Food
Feel free to bring snacks and whatever else you usually bring on a ride, and don’t forget your water! There is a food truck on site too if you need extra fuelling.
Facilities:
There are basic facilities at this meet this spot:
Parking (free)
Toilets
Food truck
What Will it Cost?
The ride itself is totally free, we won’t be charging you anything for our company but you do have to pay in order to ride at Twisted Oaks, and sign a waiver. You can do all this via the Twisted Oaks website.
A day pass for a non member costs £12.50 for an adult this allows you to ride all day and gives you full access to all off road trails, jumps lines and training areas. To guarantee your session, please book in advance of visiting the park.
There is a free car park at Twisted Oaks.
We will have the entire day to ride, but there is no pressure at all if you need to dip out at any point. Our rides normally last around 5 hours or so, but the needs of the group will be taken into account and we are more than happy to go for longer!
Important Info:
Photos:
Our ambassadors may take photos or videos during the ride to use on social media or in promotions. It’s a great way to show others what our rides are really like and help those who might be nervous feel more confident about joining next time.
If you'd prefer not to be included in any photos or videos, just let your ambassador know at the start of the ride — no problem at all!
Disclaimer:
This is NOT a guided ride and there will be no coaching, we’re simply meeting you at the trail head to make some friends, push each other as a group, and get women and girls on the trails. We do not accept any responsibility / liability for any accidents, and we will refuse to ride with anyone who arrives without the correct safety equipment or an unsafe bike. All riders must sign up in order to ride and in doing so you are agreeing to these terms. All riders must identify as a woman and be aged 18 or above.
