Paul and his crew had a brilliant time a couple of weeks ago, with another outing for the classic Surrey Hills Singletrack Adventure.

With all the very best trails of Holmbury and Pitch Hills: including a few surprises thrown in!

The Singletrack Adventure remains the definitive intermediate-level Surrey Hills ride, in the south east's singletrack hotspot. So whether you're new to Surrey riding or you're returning for more of the trails you love, we're next rolling on 2 August.

Traditionally, June is the start of the big 'three-in-a-row', and we kicked things off last weekend with our classic Peak District weekender in Castleton.

​It was two days of rocky and wild rides, including the legendary 'Cut Gate' and the famous 'Ladybower' descents.

​Hot on the heels of our Dark Peak starter, Liz is now at the helm and currently immersed in three days of guiding in the Lake District.

​This epic trio of trips will wrap up next with four days of sweet Tweed Valley singletrack right in her backyard. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

​Missed out on the action?

We have just two places left for June, plus spaces on August's Tweed Valley trip and September's return to the Peaks. 👇

– 3 nights' hotel accommodation in historic Arundel
– Comfortable minibus transfer to and from each day's start and finish point
– Ride light with just your usual day-ride gear
– Fully led with an experienced qualified guide

Book now and finish your summer on a real high...

You can't say you really know England's south coast until you've biked...
..the Isle of Wight!

This gem of a landscape is within easy reach of Portsmouth, and offers dramatic hills, charming villages, and views even better than our beloved South Downs.

The Marmalade MTB Trans Isle of Wight packs a weekend's worth of adventure into one epic day:

– Ferry from Portsmouth to Ryde
– Full day of guided off-road island riding from east to west
– Ferry from Yarmouth to Lymington
– Luxury minibus transfer returning you and your bike to Portsmouth

We handle all the logistics, so you can focus on an amazing day out.

The date for your diary is Sunday 28 June.

The brilliant Sussex businesses we collaborate with and their amazing South Downs produce have a global reach. 🇳🇴

​On Wednesday, Claire and Sean had the privilege of showing a group of Norwegians around the Wiston Estate, ahead of their exquisite late lunch at the vineyard's Chalk restaurant.

​Our Ride and Dines are usually enjoyed by couples and small groups celebrating a special occasion, so it was wonderful for this larger overseas group to experience the Wiston Ride and Dine.

It's the best name we ever came up with for a Marmalade ride...

"Intermediate" – for those riders who are happy off road, but know they need to polish their technique.

"Coach" – getting focussed instruction from a qualified, experienced expert coach who'll help you understand your riding better.

"Ride" – because when the sun is shining and the coaching is done, it's time to go wild in the woods!

"Cornering" – in our view, the number 1 skill that intermediate riders need to nail: moving smoothly through corners with confidence and spot-on body positioning.

"Flow" – the illusive Jedi-like state that turns trail riding from a series of successive features and obstacles into one joined-up experience, preserving speed, energy and safety.

So there it is: Marmalade's "Intermediate Coach & Ride / Cornering & Flow".

- 10am this Saturday 30 May
- 3 hours' coaching – a break to refresh – then a further 2 hours putting new skills to good use.
