Off Road Noob Days... Recommendations?
Discussion
Evening all
Have never ridden off road before and fancy giving it a go. Have had a look at some of these one day off road experiences but there seems to be so many out there, almost every manufacturer seems to do their own! These all seem to be quite well reviewed but also very pricey (£200+ for the day). Are there any cheaper but equally good ones out there? Would be quite keen to do one in the next couple of months and would be great if there's some out there that people recommend!

Circa 250 quid isnt really expensive when you consider the inclusion of an up-to-date bike, all gear, insurances and the fact you don't have to buy, register, clean or maintain any of it. You could do 4 or 5 a year and still be better off than buying your own. Have never ridden off road before and fancy giving it a go.

Wildtracks at Newmarket is really good for try out events on off road track (versus riding a trail) - £100 for 1/2 day inc all your kit/bike
You do get some basic off road skills tuition included

Unless you are really fit I doubt you would last a day riding continuously. We would hire 5 bikes between 10 and always ended up with bikes sat idle by 2pm in the afternoon because we were knackered. Id start with a 1/2 day session and start with the smaller bikes.
