Excellent service & experience

Very easy to book with excellent e-bikes for hire. Great service on arrival with clear instructions and very helpful guidance. Swinley Forest is a delight to cycle around with a wide choice of routes, surfaces and challenges. Highly recommended.

Red-runner gets new skills

I am a experienced red-runner. As a heavier rider, I struggle with jumps. First time visit to The Summit, which is an excellent skills area. Mary Ann deconstructed some of my body position and a lot of breaking it down and slowing me down. I managed to properly attain tabletop pop!

I had an amazing session at The Summit…

I had an amazing session at The Summit on Sunday.

The variety of trails, jumps, and drops is fantastic for ALL levels of experience and ability.

The highly professional and experienced coaches (Brendan, Aidan and Simon this Sunday) were on hand to help improve technique, mindset, mechanical issues, and generally to encourage (or moderate if/where required) your riding and set realistic challenges.

10/10, would highly recommend a visit.

Bike hire and trail walks

We had bike hire for my son. The bike he loved. The trails were brilliant. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Food and drinks were good. The place itself is amazing. The scenery and walk around is so lovely and tranquil. Will be visiting on a regular basis. Would highly recommend.

Magic

Magic! Despite having ridden for decades, I wanted some help to improve my technique so I can keep riding, feeling safe now I no longer "bounce"! I had great tuition, and each piece of guidance was like a Christmas present. Had a big small all day. Cant thank Simon enough.

Level 1 drops and jumps

Had such a great experience on the level, one jumps and drops course. Such a wide variety of ages from kids to a retiree and everyone was cared for and supported throughout their journey.

I’ll have a practice and we’ll be back for level two

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!
