Gradings Key
Grading guided rides in the Peak District is difficult and subjective because the weather plays a big part. To try and help you understand and choose which guided ride is best for you we have written the following grading key.
Suitable for off road mountain bikers with a good basic skills level. Flowing single tracks and wider tracks that may incorporate small rocks and loose surfaces.
Most of the gradients are moderate and all are rideable but will include some short steady climbs and descents. A good basic level of fitness will help you get the most out of these trails.

All routes have variations, extensions and shortcuts that can be adapted to suit weather conditions, riding skills and the fitness levels of participants.
