Weekends

We run guided rides ideal for families, novice or intermediate mountain bikers most weekends throughout the summer. Our guides will choose a pace and route to suit and scenery comes as standard! If you want to learn more about mountain biking you can book our one or two-day Discover Mountain Biking courses.

Advanced rides may be available at weekends but pre-booking is essential.

Weekdays

The area is fantastic for the more serious XC mountain biker, so we need little encouragement to get out guiding! Ask about joining the Ballater Mountain Bike Club Sunday rides – it’s free!
