This is a really cool ride that I have come up with because I was very bored in quarantine!
This ride is very hard because not only will you need to have the endurance to cover the distance, you will also need to have the technical ability to ride all of the challenging trails.

Hi, please could you let me know who to contact regarding areas that should be avoided by mountain bikers? I am part of a team who have plans to protect upland peat areas as part of a climate change mitigation initiative. I would like to advise mountain bikers of areas that should be avoided in order to minimise damage to peatlands and was wondering if this is possible through this website? Thanks

We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
