EXPERIENCED
BEGINNER
You’ve been riding a bike for a while and you’re most comfortable on smooth single-track and wider, forgiving double-track. You like rides with scenic views; you like both ascending and descending on well-maintained, safe trails. You’re looking for an active but safe mountain bike experience; you’re not into jumps, drops, super steep trails, rock gardens, roots or taking risks on your bike.

QT Scenic Trails are perfect for your current skills.
You'll make amazing progress with a LESSON and we can adapt many our favourite trips if you book a CUSTOM TRIP.
