To join a ride you need to be able to balance on a bike whilst moving very well and capable of turning corners and standing up without pedalling. These factors are important as both locations contain downhill trails in forest terrain with bumps, roots and rollable jumps.

​

The 2 locations are slightly different in many ways from elevation to terrain.

​

Covert Woods, Barham- This place has short hill climbs with short Downhill trails. Covert Woods has roots, berms (corners), rollable jumps. It's great for teenagers who tick off being able to balance on a bike and can tackle bumpy terrain.

​

Surrey Hills, Dorking- This place has long hill climbs and long downhill trials. Most trails are open with roots, rollable jumps and big berms on certain trails. It's great for teenagers who can tackle slow elevation hill climbs and long descents. I would say it's harder than Covert Woods due to the long hill climbs and requires a good fitness level.
