Guided Rides

We have a range of big days out and shorter excursions into the hills and coastal areas of Dumfries and Galloway where you just might spot some dolphins – all a stone’s throw from great accommodation, fantastic eateries, and cozy pubs, all you need for the perfect contrast to trail centre riding, so ‘expand your horizons’ and let us show you the best viewpoints in the area.

A taste of our favorite rides:

The Goldrush – Starting at Drumlanrig, the Goldrush takes intrepid bikers on a full day ride up the Southern Upland Way in the Lowther Hills, over the hills to Wanlockhead, with stunning views over the Lowther Hills, and descents on a technical narrow singletrack. This is the biggest descent in the area dropping a whopping 300m in one go!!!

Cairnsmore of Fleet (2333ft)– A big ride up and massive downhill – views are out of this world! You can see the Isle of Man, and our expert local guides can point out all the other landmarks in the

area. Our favorite route cuts back into Kirroughtree for some swoopy fun to finish a grand day out. Dalbeattie/ Kippford – Taking the best of the 7stanes Dalbeattie trail and all the sweetest natural hidden single-track in the forest, our favorite trail drops into lovely sailing village Kippford for seaside lunch after views of coast and Hestan Island close to Dalbeattie.

Biking and cultural trips: We can combine biking and castles or local attractions en route e.g. Sweetheart Abbey. These trips are available for the following prices:
