What to expect

I'll take 20 minutes to fit you to a bike, and give you some basic tuition on riding a full suspension mountain bike. During the ride, I'll show you how to use the capability of your full suspension bike. We'll work on climbing, descending, cornering and braking. You will gradually build your skills and confidence for the trail ahead. Then we take to the trails. We warm up on easy trails, where we'll practice a stream crossing, before a quick break at the halfway hut. From here we head in to more open country, with a couple of hours more strenuous riding on to open moorland, to be rewarded by a great view at the summit. Then its time to put your downhill skills to the test, with 3km of descent. We'll catch our breath at the ruined croft before completing the circuit and returning to Dinnet. Please advise Macdui Bike Adventures by email if your group includes young adults under 18 year old. The itinerary will be modified to meet their requirements and Adventure Activity Licencing Requirements.
