EVERYTHING IS BETTER

Riding a mountain bike provides a thrilling combination of physical challenge, natural beauty, adrenaline rush, and a sense of freedom, allowing rider to navigate diverse terrains, conquer technical sections, and experience the outdoors in a unique way; essentially, it's a fun!
ABOUT US
WeRide was formed out of Ben's 30 year passion for mountain biking, racing and guiding. As a former walk leader and National Park Ranger for the Peak District National Park it was a simple transition into leading mountain bike rides and so WeRide was born.
​
After a 4 year stint working as a coach at the National Cycling Centre in Manchester the natural progression for WeRide was into mountain bike specific coaching.
Combined with the the work experience, 30 years of riding, racing at a top level in cross country and being coached under the Scottish Downhill Academy for a full year Ben brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the coaching and guiding provided by WeRide.
