TRAIL TRIPS
These are trips that involve some trail riding along the way. Notionally, Dorothy's trail trips are aimed more at the easy-intermediate end of the market and are best attended by those on the smaller capacity adventure bikes; sub 450cc ideally but please get in touch if you are on a bigger bike as if you have experience riding that bike on the trails then you'll probably be alright. But we're trying to avoid novices on big bikes turning up and injuring themselves or needing constant picking up. Riders on all of these trips need to be able to pick their bikes up on their own, or at least as part of a pair...

TRAINING FOR TRAILS
To ensure riders on the trail trips have the skills and confidence to successfully navigate the terrain, we've teamed up with Paul and Louise, a pair of fully qualified trail trainers who run one day training events out of their Hertfordshire facility. I've known them a number of years. A great couple, know exactly what skills a real world trail riders needs. For anyone who hasn't been on a Dorothy trail tour before then booking a day is compulsory. This ensures you have the skills for the adventure ahead. If Paul and Louise feel you need more practice, then that's what they'll advise. The aim is to minimise injuries out on the trails, which is everyone's best interests...

BEFORE BOOKING...
Just a heads up that Dorothy's uses a booking portal called We Travel to take and handle the bookings. Like all technology, there's pros and cons but it's been successful on the whole. Just a few things to note; if you pay by card it will add a service fee. By bank transfer it won't. If you pay by bank transfer it can take 7 days to clear. It will also set up a standing order for the remainder of the balance, due on the nominated date. Don't be alarmed by this. You can override it, change payment method and also amend the booking after the initial booking's been made. It's a good system but if you're having any problems with it please just drop me a line.
