One-day epic mountain bike rides
Calling all trail centre riders!
Get yourselves out of the trailhead cafe and head for the real mountains on one of our guided epics. We visit some of the top mountain biking regions and show you that there is life after groomed singletrack!
In the company of our guides we aim to take you to the limit and offer you the chance to test yourself against some of the most challenging terrain in the country. There's no red runs or black runs and definitely no easy fire road to coast along!

All of these rides are called 'epics' for a reason and that is because the distance, the overall altitude gained and the technicality of some of the riding make them suitable for experienced riders only. Some may involve 'hike-a-bike' and the wearing of body armour for some of the descents is strongly recommended.
