Worth the money and a great day on the bikes

Coach James was fantastic … I have experience from some years ago but my daughter had zero time on an MTB… the pace of progression was perfect to develop confidence and the feed in of tips and advice just right to absorb without being overloaded… chapeau!

Summit

We had.a kids session booked on the Summit. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Marianne who was the kids’s coach on the day was the star of the show. She was not only helping kids to learn the techniques but also role modelling resilience and teaching them how to be part of a great MTB community. This was our first time in the Summit but I’m sure we will be a regular for years to come. Thank you guys for being so awesome!

Bike Hire

Booking the bike hire was quick and straightforward. I called with a few questions, and the gentleman I spoke to was incredibly polite, kind, and helpful. He helped me choose the right size bike and recommended the most suitable route for my experience level. Excellent customer service from start to finish—I would definitely hire from here again.

Swinley kids biking holiday club…

My son went on the biking holiday club day this week. Great routes through Swinley forest with really nice people, who are very helpful and happily share their bike knowledge/experience. The price is competitive compared to other all day holiday clubs too and if they take a fall I'm totally confident the instructors will take good care of him until I get there.

Amazing experience - brilliant coaches

My two boys had never visited Swinley trails or The Summit before and the Holiday day camp coaches were super friendly, and the boys had an amazing time. They learnt loads and made lots of new friends too. Huge thanks to the team - we'll be back soon!

Professional, well-organised and friendly

My son came home absolutely buzzing from the Kids Day Camp. As a new budding mountain biker, it's great that such a professional team is available to answer his questions and make recommendations, and generally enhance his enjoyment of learning how to ride. Many thanks!

Had a 2 hour coaching session with Aidan, helping me (39) and my son (15) build confidence with jumping. Really informative, great facilities and we left with much better understanding and overall confidence to keep progressing.

Great coaching by Simon

What a fantastic day improving our jumping and drop-off skills with Simon.

His coaching, knowledge and encouragement were superb and by the end of the session we were confidently hitting gap jumps and black-grade drop-offs we wouldn’t have attempted before.

A brilliant day and we’ll definitely be booking another session soon. Highly recommended.
