Guided MTB & Ebike Tours

Established back in 2016 we’ve introduced some amazing people to some of the best routes, trails and scenery here in the Peak District.

Based from our hub at the amazing Bike and Boot leisure hotel just out of Hope/Castleton we offer mountain bike guided tours, adventures, experiences and ebike hire with our professionally trained guides all with full outdoor first aid carrying all the essentials to help keep you out on the trails.

Our onsite hub and workshop where we prepare our fleet bikes is well prepared to help with any last minute repairs you might have as well as any last min accessories.

Why Guiding?

Here in the Peak District  we have some of the most diverse tracks and trails in the UK.  Making it more popular is its proximity to both Manchester and Sheffield, and is one of the UK’s most accessible and popular areas for mountain bikers, road bikers, and the ever increasing gravel scene.

Coming to a new place to ride your mountain bike can be exciting, but also daunting.  Knowing how make the most of your time,  where to ride, and what trails are suitable for your capability.

This is where one of our guides can help to get the most out of your day and to ensure you go home with the biggest smile.

Understanding a groups experience and tailoring the route to suit all is often a difficult balance but we feel we’ve doing it long enough now that we have it nailed.

Take the stress out of finding the best routes and trails -

Let us do all the hard-work, book a guide and all you'll need to concentrate on is the riding.

Required Experience

Whilst we cater for beginner level riders, the type of riding here in the Peaks mixed with an amount of riding on the road we do require that all riders who book our courses and ebikes have had experience riding bikes previously, including mountain bikes and are competant and profficient.

From beginners through to seasoned riders wishing to explore new trails, or riders wishing to challenge themselves on one of our epic rides then you have found the right place.

Our Routes

There are a wide variety of natural trails here in the Peak District. Stitching together some of the best routes is often difficult. What you get when you book a guided ride is a personal service where we tailor the route to your groups experience and ability.

Starting off at a level comfortable for all, once we've established the groups dynamic and ability we can then adjust the route to suit all, ensuring a balance between enjoyment and suitable challenge whilst remaining safe.

Some of our popular routes can be found below

Ebike & MTB Hire

We have partnered with Mondraker Bikes to bring premium ebike hire in a variety of sizes and models to offer a choice for everyone. If its a normal MTB you want to hire then we work with the guys at the Bike Garage to facilitate non electric bike hire.

Had amazing coaching day with Jaime. Set our bikes up- checked tyre pressure suspension. Jaime is a great teacher- has ability to set it at a level that is perfect – not too easy but enough to test you and push your boundaries in a safe environment. Worth every penny. We had great day. Can’t wait to come back and do tour guiding with Jaime.

Five of us had a fabulous guided weekend e-mountain biking. We had no previous experience, so it was great to have Barney with us to explain how the bikes worked, sort out the route and to talk us through how to approach all the different terrain. The bikes were fantastic, in tip-top condition and checked over each day. Barney was super; very calm and helpful, allowing each of us to go at our own pace. He had lots of good stories about the Peak District too. We would recommend True North wholeheartedly.

Just had our 2nd annual MTB coaching day with True North Adventures. I’ve learnt loads about bike handling and how to tackle technical routes easily and safely. It’s given me more confidence and motivation. Jamie is an excellent coach and he even managed to catch me before I fell into the hedgerow. Skillz or what!
