What to Expect:
Approximately a 30km cross country ride in the Yorkshire dales. You need to be confident on blues and have a good level of fitness for this ride.
There are no food facilities at the meet point, so please make sure to bring plenty of water and snacks. There will be a pit stop at Elaine's tea rooms in Feizor for anyone needing a refuel mid ride.
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:
Emma will be waiting in the Yorkshire Dales Nation Park Clapham Car Park ready to ride at 10:00 am. Please arrive with plenty of time to get ready as we’re not going to hang around too long.
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!
This is a mountain bike ride, not suitable for gravel or hybrid bikes. E-bikes and ‘normal’ 😂 bikes welcome.
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
Make sure you bring plenty of water for the ride. Please bring plenty of snacks for along the way and feel free to pack a lunch too. We will take a pit stop at Elaine's tea rooms in Feizor for anyone needing a refuel mid ride.

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!
