This trail riding session is designed for beginner and intermediate off-road riders seeking a full-day experience on varied terrain around Dorking. Participants will receive expert guidance to improve their riding techniques while enjoying a scenic 45-mile route. The session offers a relaxed group atmosphere with all equipment provided.
The day begins with a brief introduction to the bike and an overview of the riding route, allowing riders to become comfortable with the motorcycle and its controls. Although the session assumes all participants hold a full motorcycle licence and have basic machine control, expert instructors will focus on refining off-road riding techniques such as balance, throttle control, and clutch use in varied terrain.
The route covers approximately 45 miles of mixed off-road trails and scenic countryside around Dorking. Riders will navigate a range of surfaces, including dirt tracks and gentle slopes, designed to build confidence and skill without being overwhelming. The group format encourages support and shared learning, with regular stops to discuss technique and allow participants to rest or adjust their equipment.
The trail ride takes place in and around the Surrey Hills near Dorking, an area known for its varied terrain and beautiful countryside. The route makes use of a combination of bridleways, forest tracks, and quiet lanes that offer an accessible but engaging off-road experience. This location provides a balance of challenge and enjoyment, suitable for those new to trail riding or looking to sharpen their skills in a safe environment.
Access to the start point is straightforward from London and other parts of the South East, with ample parking and facilities nearby. The natural surroundings feature gentle hills and woodland, making it an ideal place to get familiar with off-road riding while enjoying open spaces and fresh air.
Participants must be at least 25 years old and hold a full motorcycle licence, as the session assumes a solid foundation of road riding skills including throttle control, clutch use, and balance. Those who are unsure about their readiness for off-road riding or have limited experience on a motorcycle are advised to contact the organisers beforehand to discuss suitability.
Since this is a group ride, there will be no time for instruction on basic motorcycle handling. Riders must be able to safely control their bike on-road before progressing to the off-road sections. The organisers reserve the right to stop participation if a rider’s skill level is insufficient for the safety of the group.
The instructors bring a wealth of experience from years of motorcycle riding and teaching, with a particular passion for off-road trail riding that developed during adventurous trips such as riding from London to the deserts of Morocco. This enthusiasm has shaped a practical and enjoyable approach to trail riding, focusing on skill development and the enjoyment of varied terrain.
Having transitioned from road riding to trail riding, the team offers a fresh perspective that emphasises fun and progression in a supportive group environment. The session is carefully structured to balance expert guidance with freedom to explore, making it ideal for riders looking to enhance their off-road ability without unnecessary complexity or pressure.
