WHAT BIKE? This route is a traditional cross-country mountain bike ride and is very flat. So a hardtail or short travel full suspension mountain bike would be perfect. Big travel bikes are welcome – just be prepared for some extra effort. This ride can be enjoyed on a mountain bike, gravel or an e-bike. If this ride is right for your level of experience and fitness, then bring your choice of bike! We have a friendly party pace vibe, and e-bike & super fit riders who find themselves first up the hill are always patient and understanding of those relying on human power alone. Ensure your bike is maintained and ready to ride, and please pack your spare mech hanger with your usual trail pack spares. E-bike riders please consider bringing a spare battery if you feel your power consumption may need for one.
