Bank Holiday Guided Weekend

A bank holiday weekend of mountain biking around Swaledale in the stunning Yorkshire Dales, based from our dedicated Dales Bike Centre.

About the area:

Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales is our home venue and no one knows the mountain biking like we do. The trails here offer the highest concentration of quality bridleways and mountain bike rideable trails anywhere in the Dales. Swaledale's natural trails drain well offering year round riding.

Swaledale splits in two at Reeth into the valleys of Arkengarthdale and Upper Swaledale. Both have superb single-track riding and moor land trails to keep you grinning and wanting to come back for more.

Accommodation:

Your bank holiday weekend of riding is based from Dales Bike Centre in the tiny village of Fremington near Reeth in Swaledale. Our purpose built bike centre is set up for mountain bikers to have the most enjoyable weekend biking on offer. Accommodation is primarily at Dales Bike Centre in our very comfortable bunk accommodation in two and four bedded rooms, upgrades to nearby B&B's are available.

At the Dales Bike Centre as well as accommodation we have a café, bike shop, workshop, secure bike store, bike wash, drying room, laundry and parking for you to use. Bike hire is available or why not try out one of our Trek demo fleet for the day or weekend.

You will also find that we know the best cafés, restaurants, pubs and hotels on hand to replenish your energy levels. At the end of each ride you'll be given a warm welcome back at Dales Bike Centre to enjoy complimentary coffee or tea and homemade cake.

The Riding:

Using our local knowledge of the trails we've put together routes that are not only great to ride, but allow you to get away from the crowds and enjoy some wilderness riding where you will only see a handful of people all day. The day routes are around 35km with a good handful of up and down hills.

So, if you are looking for great riding, great food, and a great bunch of great people to ride with then contact us now.
