Beginners - Novice or Expert!

One of the biggest factors in deciding whether you are going to book this holiday or not is often what I call the 'I wonder' syndrome.  In other words... "I wonder if I am good enough to do this, I've never done it before" etc... Not a problem fear not; all you need is an ability and experience of riding a motorbike, on the road, if you can control the bike and know about, clutch & brake control, you will easily pick this up! After all we are NOT going to break any Records, we are going for a great day out!!

Please take comfort in the fact that the last thing I am going to do is clear off into the distance in a cloud of dust leaving you to chase me as best as you can!...This is not what I am all about!...it is both irresponsible and in some cases, downright dangerous.

Don’t forget Small Groups Only – So that you get the attention that you need!!

Whilst Out & About with 1 Rider, we ran into one of the Large Companies, at the Petrol Station, I think on this day, they had 8 / 9 riders! - There are plenty of Companies offering Large Group Riding - What we offer is Individual & VERY Small Group Trail Riding!

I had to Squash this photo up to show us on the Right and them of the left; Although you can't really see the rider I am with, in the dark!

Here at Long Way Round I can safely say that the majority of my clients have never done Trail Riding in their lives.  They are usually first timers at this fantastic pastime and are very nervous initially!  See our ´What Others Say´ page & read some of the comments from first timers.

I don't set you targets...I don't push you harder and harder as the tour progresses... I do let you find your own pace and respect the level of riding you are comfortable with...Always! – I do this for FUN! So that you have FUN!

Of course I’m there to offer any helpful tips and advice should you need it.  As a beginner to off road riding; the one thing I can GUARANTEE is that your riding and bike control will reach a level you may not have thought possible.

If you want to race along at 100mph off road - I would suggest you try one of the other Companies offering similar kinds of tours!!!  The majority all think like I do, but you never know, you might just get unlucky!!!

Yes, we love riding bikes  but we are also safety aware at all times,  which is priceless!

Now you may be thinking something like "Bloody hell, this sounds really boring etc etc "If you were to think this would be boring then you simply don’t understand what this is all about !!! ....boring it never is.....exciting, fun and adventurous?......oh yes, by the shed load !

This will be the most challenging day you will have spent…..Believe me!!!

You will get so much from your time here!!

Looking forwards to meeting you soon!

Safe Biking! - Don't forget KEEP SAFE - KEEP BIKING!
