Proform MTB & Gravel are based in Lancashire and offer skills coaching and guided MTB and gravel tours around the stunning West Pennine Moors, Peak District and Lake District. 

All courses and guided rides are run by Howard Hurst, who is a MIAS Level 2 qualified Mountain Bike Leader and cycling coach.

We offer MTB skills courses for beginner and intermediate level riders. Alternatively, if you just want to ride but don't want the hassle of planning a bike ride somewhere unfamiliar yourself, we do the hard work for you and offer fully guided riders for beginners to experts for both MTB and Gravel riding. 

New tours and course will be added to our services regularly, so please check back for updated.
