A day in the dirt: What to expect from Phoenix’s trail riding days

Trail riding days with Phoenix are unique to each group. Even so, there are similarities for the day’s plans, but the tracks we’ll take you down will match your skills and abilities.

An itinerary for fun on dirt bike riding days

Each of our trail riding days is planned with your group’s abilities in mind. That means you can expect to be challenged, learn new skills and have a great time too. After getting the paperwork out of the way, most of our days run roughly to the same plan…

• Get kitted out in quality safety gear and choose your dirt bike for the day.
• Enjoy an hour-long training and evaluation session in our private training area.
• Explore the roads and trails in your location with an experienced guide.
• Stop for lunch and chat about the trails, the challenges and have some laughs.
• Get back on your bike for more fun in challenging terrain.
• Return to base mid-afternoon, tired but satisfied with a great day of riding. 

A choice of challenging terrains

The range of locations Phoenix Trails offers days out means there’s always something new and fun to challenge yourself with! Level 1, 2 and 3 trail riding days are offered at North Kent Downs, Salisbury Plain and the Peak District too. So what can you expect from the different trails? Excitement, challenge and exhilarating rides you’ll want more of!

North Downs, Kent: Ride chalky byways across undulating hills. Climb rutted trails and race down narrow lanes with your experienced guide and the Folkstone White Horse – England’s youngest hill figure – watching over you. A day conquering the trails of Kent’s North Downs with John will leave you wanting more!

Salisbury Plains: Expect muddy trails, tarmacked lanes, chalky byways and rutted tracks crisscrossing MOD zones and some of England’s most iconic landscapes. A day of trail riding around Salisbury Plains with Justin (aka SP Stigg) is a wonderful workout that will sharpen your skills and leave you grinning from ear to ear!

“Trig and Sam gave us a great day out, very tired but very happy. The instructors were very knowledgeable and horribly talented. The instructional style is very relaxed and coaches you in the techniques that will best suit your particular needs. Salisbury Plain offers a broad range of terrain in which to practice/develop your off road skills. Highly recommended, and even if you only mainly ride on the road, there are transferrable skills.” – G.C

The Peak District: Rocky, narrow, gritty tracks are par for the course when you choose a trail riding day in the Peak District! From disused railways to single-file paths with steep inclines, trail riding days in the Peak District are for those with an adventurous heart! JB is an excellent guide who knows the area like the back of his hand – each adventure is uniquely unforgettable.

Body and bike: The physical impact of dirt bike riding on trails

Embarking on a trail riding day is not just a casual spin; it’s an energetic workout for body and bike. You’re relying on your reactions and fitness as well as the power and finesse of your machine. So if you’re asking yourself if trail riding days are thrilling escapades or physically demanding challenges, the simple answer is, they’re both!

You’ll be led through slippery fields, clad in safety gear, to practice the basics:  gentle throttle, no brakes, lean forward, elbows up. It’s a different world, where skids are embraced, not avoided.

It sounds simple, but it’s a stance and riding approach that demands strong legs, arms and shoulders. After hours of navigating wooded byways, muddy tracks, and unavoidable ruts by paddling along and standing on the footpegs you’ll be sweating with the exertion and grinning with accomplishment.

As the day wears on, your confidence grows, and you’ll appreciate the break for lunch. It’s a chance to rest, compare notes with your guide and fellow riders, and catch your breath for an afternoon of adventure.

So, is trail riding physically demanding? Undoubtedly. But the physical exertion is intertwined with exhilaration, laughs, and the satisfaction of mastering challenging terrains. It’s a journey where your body becomes stronger and develops muscle memories that will echo far beyond the muddy trails.
