What to Expect

This two-day trail riding experience takes you from our base in Surrey to the coast of Bournemouth, covering a total of 320 miles—around 60% on road and 40% off road. You’ll ride through a diverse mix of twisting country lanes, byways and unsurfaced tracks as you cross Surrey, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset. Expect to take in a constantly changing landscape, with plenty of variety to keep both road and off-road sections engaging. The pace and difficulty level will be matched to the group, based on the package you’ve chosen—either beginner/intermediate or experienced—so you’re never pushed beyond what you’re comfortable with, but will still be challenged and encouraged.

Each day includes a planned lunch stop and fuel top-up, with accommodation arranged for you at the Deus Hotel in Bournemouth. After a full day of riding, you'll wind down with an evening meal, before setting off again the next morning on a fresh route back to base. All logistics are handled by the team—including your fuel, meals, and overnight stay—so you won’t need to think about a thing beyond enjoying the ride. This is an ideal way to push your trail riding skills further, test your stamina, and share a well-organised, social adventure with other riders.

Location

This session starts and finishes at the centre’s base in Dorking, Surrey, offering easy access to a range of trails and quiet roads. From here, the group follows a pre-planned route southwest across multiple counties, weaving through some of southern England’s most rideable off-road sections and scenic rural areas. The journey covers a combination of woodland tracks, chalk ridges, green lanes and fast-flowing B-roads, all handpicked by experienced instructors who know the area intimately.

As you approach the Dorset coastline, the terrain begins to change, with a blend of wide open sections and narrower technical riding. The overnight stop at the Deus Hotel in Bournemouth is chosen for both its comfort and location—close enough to town for a relaxing evening, but positioned to offer a direct and exciting return route the next day.

Accommodation

Your overnight stay is arranged at the Deus Hotel in Bournemouth, a well-located and comfortable stop that’s ideal after a full day of riding. The hotel offers secure parking for the bikes, allowing you to relax without having to worry about gear or logistics. Rooms are pre-booked as part of your package, so there’s no need to arrange anything yourself.

The accommodation includes an evening meal upon arrival and breakfast the following morning before you set off. It’s a convenient and sociable base for the night, giving you a chance to rest, recharge and enjoy some downtime with the group before the return ride the next day.

Prerequisites

This session is suitable for riders aged 25 and over. All riders must hold a valid motorcycle licence.

While you don’t need prior off-road experience to join, you should be comfortable riding for extended periods and handling a motorcycle on a mix of surfaces. Two distinct routes are available depending on skill level, so beginners and seasoned trail riders alike can take part.
