North Downs Singletrack

The North Downs, normally associated with some fine cross country routes, hide away some amazing trails if you know where to look. Mickleham Downs, Ranmore Common and Box Hill are home to some amazing twisty singletrack. There are even some tasty freeride options too.

The route

The route will vary from ride to ride taking in plenty of classic singletrack; all connected with some beautiful XC riding through the likes of Norbury Park, Headley Heath and Mickleham Downs.

There’ll usually be time for a short break to sample the fantastic cakes sold from the National Trust shop at the top of Box Hill.

Singletrack Rides usually last 3-3½ hours.

The ride will consist of a combination of the following singletracks:

Box Hill

• China Pig
• Chainbreaker

Mickleham Downs

• Wilf's Trail

Norbury Park

Experience & fitness

We try to match each ride to the experience and fitness of the people who book.

Please be aware that the singletrack on this ride has an moderate to intermediate rating. Any big drops and jumps encountered will be optional diversions and not part of the main trail.

If this still doesn't sound like your cup of tea, please consider trying one of our XC Rides which are less technically difficult (and much longer in duration).

• A well maintained mountain bike
• Mountain bike helmet (mandatory)
• Padded cycling gloves (mandatory)

• Your usual cycling clothes
• Drinking bottle or bladder for water
• A snack or energy food
• An extra warm layer
• A waterproof top
• A small rucksack or Camelback
