HIGHLIGHTS
Over the 2 days, rider coaching is included for those wanting to improve their off-road riding skills.
During the weekend, you experience a wide range of surfaces and riding conditions, giving you a real-world experience of likely scenarios.
We start in the Yorkshire Dales where the trails are generally gravel and rocky. Our route includes loose rocks, dirt, water crossings, ascents/descents, and negotiating loose surface corners.
On day 2, we spend most of the time on the North York Moors where the surfaces are more oriented to dirt and mud, depending upon how much rain there has been. We have a few more ascents/descents, rock, and water, we also ride England's longest green lane, Rudland Rigg.
This ride provides a great way to experience a lot of different road surfaces and get some tuition on how to tackle different situations and conditions you are likely to come across in your Adventure Riding.
Included is 2 nights accommodation on both the Friday and Saturday nights, leave your luggage at the Hotel so you can ride light.
Training/Coaching is provided throughout the day and is designed to provide real-world practical training and coaching should you be wanting to head off around the world.
Numbers are limited to a maximum of 6 riders.
Due to the nature of this ride, pillions are not recommended.
ROUTE
ITINERARY
Friday Evening
We will meet to have dinner together, or more correctly, and because you are in Yorkshire now, we will meet to have Tea together (Dinner is Lunch up here).
This evening is your opportunity to ask any last-minute questions and get a briefing for the coming 2 days, do's don'ts, etc.
Saturday
After Breakfast, we head off into the Yorkshire Dales National Park which offers a great mixture of fantastic sealed roads and a wide range of off-road options. At the start of each off-road section, we will stop, and provide a brief of this particular section, what to expect, how best to tackle it, and options to avoid if you want to skip any particular section. We will always re-group at the end of each offroad section to debrief before heading on to the next.
Sunday
Today we head into the North York Moors National Park with a similar agenda to Saturdays. Here in the North York Moors, the generally rocky surfaces of the Dales give way to a more dirt-oriented terrain, and possibly mud if it has been raining recently.
We finish mid/late Sunday afternoon to give you time to travel back home in time for tea (not dinner, remember, thats eaten in the middle of the day at what most people call lunch time :-) ).
