Exposure Lights Night Rides

The character of The Surrey Hills changes drastically when the light begins to fade; trails that seem easy during the day suddenly become that little bit more challenging as your world contracts to a cone of light anchored to your handlebars.

At the same time steep terrain, you would probably think twice about during the day, becomes strangely less threatening at night; probably because you can no longer see over the edge.

But don't worry, our highly experienced local guides will take you down the best trails The Surrey Hills have to offer, ensuring you finish the ride with a grin from ear to ear.

The route

The quality of the trails here has to be seen to be believed; even after rain the trails dry out in only a few hours. Riding them at night adds an extra element of excitement and interest.

There are so many great ways to tackle the singletrack through these woods, no two rides need ever be the same. We'll take in some classics like Barry Know's Best, Summer Lightning and Yoghurt Pots of course.

Guided Night Rides usually last around 2.5 hours.

The singletrack

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

Holmbury Hill

Leith Hill

Pitch Hill

Winterfold Woods

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 intermediate to difficult rating. However, there are always diversions available to avoid to most difficult drops and jumps and we'll be there to advise you of what to expect around the next corner.

If this doesn't sound like your cup of tea, please consider trying one of our daytime guided Singletrack or XC Rides.
