If jetting off on a plane to rip around the Alps is a little too ambitious for you this year, then check out these closer-to-home MTB hotspots for your getaway.
As much as we’d love to ride the rocky mountains of Colorado, and shred the trails in the Alps, our purse strings just won’t stretch that far.
It’s easy to get blinded by the promise of sun and warmer climates that other countries can offer, but the UK is a mecca for mountain biking and these short getaways will have your adrenaline levels on high without your bank account suffering.
