Alex, the organiser of New Forest Mountain Biking, has an exciting announcement for the sports community. Based in Ringwood, New Forest Mountain Biking specialises in guided mountain biking rides and cycling tours. They provide a variety of ride options suitable for all ages and abilities, from beginner skills rides to experienced full-day MTB rides.
The club operates in several locations across the region, including New Forest National Park, Ringwood Forest, Moors Valley, Burley, Brockenhurst, Lyndhurst, QE Country Park, Purbeck Hills, Corfe Castle, the South Downs, and the Isle of Wight. They also offer custom rides and ride vouchers for special occasions such as birthdays, family events, stag/hen parties, and company team-building activities.
For larger groups, Alex and the team can assist with organising bike drop and collection services. Group discounts are available, and bookings should be made around two weeks in advance. Although they don't provide bike hire directly, they can start and finish rides at one of the four bike hire centres in the area.
The club offers different ride options to match various skill levels and preferences. The Green option is a family-friendly 2-hour beginner or improver skills ride, starting from £25 per person. The Blue option is a 3-hour social or MTB skills ride, including e-Bike skills training, starting from £30 per person.
