The Ultimate Exmoor Uplift Day: Experience the best descents on Exmoor

About

Join us for our hugely popular ‘Ultimate Exmoor MTB Experience’, where we get to show you what Exmoor has to offer!

We’ll drive you up, blast it down, and show you the very best of Exmoor! Your guides are Level 3 British Cycling Leadership qualified, with 25+ years of riding on Exmoor. We have the ability to tie up the very best trails on Exmoor, for you to enjoy, taking in natural trails, as used in some of the local Enduro races, as well as some manmade and natural hidden gems.

With an 8 seater van, (as well as a pick-up truck for larger groups) and custom bike trailer, we’ll meet in Porlock Weir, then head up onto the moors, saving time of the uphills, so we can all enjoy the downhills. We will aim for at least 8 uplifts throughout the day (usually 9 or 10!) , including Dunkery Beacon, as well as Porlock Hill and Ley Hill, taking in roughly 30km-40km of trails.

This will be a fast paced day of riding, taking in the awesome views, but aiming to keep things flowing, to enjoy as much riding as possible. This is a guiding day for experienced riders, with all their own equipment and a fully functioning mountain bike (recommended full suspension). Riders are expected to be of a level that don’t require coaching or skills development, but happy to take on rocky, technical, steep and rooty descents. If you’re unsure whether this is for you, please get in touch.

Lunch is not included, but we will stop at a Tea Gardens or a Pasty shop in Porlock. The day will finish with a descent down into Porlock Weir and an optional 'Muc-Off' Bike Clean at our base.

#What have our previous clients said about this package?

“We really enjoyed the Ultimate Exmoor day last weekend. Jack and Dan looked after us very well – great guiding, 10 uplifts led to a really wide range of fun descents. We had delicious pasties for lunch. Ben was always waiting with the van when we got to the bottom. We had a good bunch of people to ride with. Totally exhausted by the end of the day. I highly recommend it, and we may well have to come back for another go…” – Cathy (Bike Guide Devon).

“One of the best days on the bike I’ve had. Dan is super helpful and an amazing guide. 100% recommend” – Chris.
