Shop Ride Sign Up
We've been riding the Surrey Hills since the 90's so it's fair to say we know where the good bits are. We are located perfectly between Ranmore & Leith Hill with 100's of trails accessable right from our front door. The shop rides are not for beginners, you should be prepared to ride steep and technical trails with optional jumps and drops.
YOUR BIKE SHOULD BE IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION. SHOULD YOU HAVE A MECHANICAL ISSUE THE RIDE WILL NOT WAIT AROUND FOR LONG TO HELP YOU FIX IT
Disclaimer - All riders who attend the shop ride do so AT THEIR OWN RISK. Nirvana Cycles IS NOT responsible for any damage to YOU or your EQUIPMENT.
SATURDAY SHOP RIDE
Saturdays 10am - 1pm
Before attending, sign up here
Our Saturday shop ride has been a staple of Nirvana since 1995, we know where the good trails are and we want you to come and join us! The Saturday ride is about having a blast in the woods, we stop at features and give advice on how to get over them. It's a social experience too, where friendships are made.
You must be able to ride a trail with roots and steep sections, this ride is not for total beginners. You must also have a good level of fitness as we are out for 3 hours and due to the nature of the Surrey Hills there will be some climbing.
Analogue and E-Bikes welcome
