This is a social ride for anyone above beginner level and Tarland is one of the best purpose build trail centres in the country with some fantastic blue, red and black flow trails.
It is important to remember that we will be riding a mix of trails all over the hill so absolute beginners will may struggle with more technical trails- all riders must be comfortable in tackling red trails and some features. We can ride black trails too, but this will be down to the group as a whole- we can decide on the day what we want to shred!
We’ll meet in the spot below, get acquainted and head out for the day.
First, we’ll enjoy a little warm up on a climb or lapping the first section of blue flow trail; then, when warm and ready, we will head further afield, and we can take it from there. Please remember that some of the trails at the this centre are on the more technical side and require some fitness.
We will have a ‘lunch break’ of sorts in the middle of the day where we can grab some food from our cars- there is no cafe onsite so bring your own or be prepared to drive into Tarland village (we happen to know that the tearooms does a very good toastie!).
It’s a super loose structure; we won’t be rushing to get done, we won’t be pushing to tick off features- the aim is to have fun and ride bikes!
