Swaledale Guided Weekend

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

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. At the nearby village of Reeth the valley splits into the valleys of Arkengarthdale and Upper Swaledale giving lots of options. Both have superb single-track riding and moor land trails to keep you grinning and wanting to come back for more.

Accommodation:
Our mountain biking weekend is based from our 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 or Cotic demo bikes for the day or weekend.

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 ups and downs!  As a bonus every Friday night we have a shop ride setting off at 7pm so get here early and come ride with the locals, you'll have a great time.

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