There are so many amazing routes we have access to in the Peaks, so whether you are an individual or a group, we want to ensure the route is suitable for your fitness and technical ability.
We want to make sure everyone has an amazing time and experience and that all the group ride within their ability and comfort zone.
All of our routes and courses are assigned a route grading so you are easily able to assess if it is suitable for your ability and experience. Further details relating to distance and elevation is included on the course or route descriptions.
At the time of booking we will ask you to confirm this information so please be as accurate as you can. Unfortunately if you book onto a course or adventure and you do not meet the required experience you may be asked to leave the course without refund due to safety reasons.
The colours signify the technical diffculty of the route or adventure, just like a trail marker or ski piste. We’ve tried to keep it as concise as possible to avoid any confusion.
If you are relatively new to the sport or looking to improve after a while out you should seek out GREEN and BLUE routes .
For intermediate and advanced riders after more challenging trails and routes then look for our RED or BLACK routes

The bars signify the physical difficulty in climbing or distance, as we offer e-bike adventures the route will be as challenging technically but will be easier on a fitness level as you’ll be assisted.
1 Bar: Physically easy, generally flat routes with the potential for rolling terrain. Less than 500 meters climbing distance varies between 10-15km
2 Bars: A slight increase in difficulty than that of a 1 bar route, possibility of additional climbing with a duration between 1-2 hours
3 Bars: Much harder, a route graded with 3 bars will be good undertaking. Expect between 2-5 hours out on the bike depending on route and between 800-1500m of climbing
4 Bars: The HARDEST routes we have in the Peaks. You’ll be climbing over 1500 meters and will be out between 4-8 hours depending on the route.
