Who is this for?

Our bike trips are open to cyclists of all abilities, from novices, to those who cycle regularly. Led by one of our expert bike guides, we guarantee you'll have a beautiful ride and leave with a smile on your face!

Children over 14 are welcome if they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Is it safe?

Yes - we cycle on the cycle paths in the park and on the towpath by the river where there's no traffic. There's a short section through residential side streets to get from the park to the river. You'll be accompanied by a fully qualified mountain bike instructor at all times.

How hard will it be?

This is a relatively easy trip, although there are a few gentle hills. You can upgrade to an electric bike if you'd prefer.

What if it's just me?

This tour is for a minimum of 2 people, but we can take you on your own if you are able to pay a £39 supplement - sorry, but otherwise we lose money on this!

Can I cancel or reschedule after I've booked?

Please see our cancellation policy. You have the option to add day before Flexi Rescheduling as an add-on when you book.

You need a reasonable level of fitness as there are some gentle hills, and be able to ride a bike! We can offer an electric bike at additional cost if you'd prefer.

Please arrive wearing the clothes you intend to cycle in as we have only rudimentary changing facilities.

We have a safe lockable storage space for your bags and valuables.

No specialist clothing is required, but bring a waterproof jacket in case it rains.

You will need to wear a cycle helmet, which we will provide.

And we'll provide Trek mountain bikes!

After a short safety briefing we will head off up towards Richmond Green, up Richmond Hill, round the park and then along the towpath towards Kingston. We will have a short break half way through the trip, and then return to the start point.
