RallyRoutesSmall-group green lane rides

Guided trail rides in the Shires.

Small groups on legal green lanes across Rutland, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. We plan the route, lead the way and keep the group together, so all you have to do is ride. Bring your own bike, or hire one of ours.

Where we ride

Rutland and the Welland Valley

Rolling farmland lanes, gated byways and long views over the valley.

Novice to intermediate

High Leicestershire

The hilly country east of Leicester: grassy tracks, fords and the odd steep climb.

Intermediate

North Northamptonshire

Old drove roads and woodland edges, a good mix for building confidence.

Novice to intermediate

Rides start near Market Harborough. Exact meeting points come with your booking. Lane conditions change with the seasons, so we tailor each ride on the day.

Ride the lanes

We lead, a back-marker keeps the group together, and we stop often for tips, photos and a breather.

Tricky bits, handled

Ruts, water and mud: we talk you through them, and there is always a way round if you want one.

42.80Box 5

Back to the start

Tea, a debrief and the stories. Hire bikes are handed back as they are – mud and all.

What you need

  • A full motorcycle licence.
  • A road-legal trail or adventure bike with MOT, tax and insurance – or hire one of ours.
  • Tyres that cope with mud and gravel.
  • Proper kit: helmet, boots, gloves, armoured jacket and trousers.
  • Some basic off-road experience and reasonable fitness. New to it? Tell us and we'll pick an easy ride.

Questions

Can I come on a big adventure bike?

Yes. We plan routes that suit big bikes, from easy lanes up. If you'd rather not risk your own, hire one of ours for the day.

What if it rains?

We ride in most weather and adjust the route to suit. If conditions make the lanes unsafe or would damage them, we'll move your date.

Are the lanes legal?

Yes. We only ride byways and unclassified roads with public vehicle rights, and we follow any seasonal restrictions.

Do I need my own insurance?

On your own bike, yes: normal road insurance, MOT and tax, as you are riding public roads. We also recommend breakdown cover.

Can I bring a friend?

Of course. Book places together, or book a private group ride for up to six.
