South London & Surrey
Trail Riders Fellowship
Promoting safe and legal trail riding in Surrey, Sussex & Hampshire
Enjoy the ride
We are an active and friendly group with over 450 members. Our members regularly organise rides and events. We also undertake work to protect green roads and our rights to use them, including through engagement with local authorities.
Working Together
A critical part of what we do is to build relationships with other user groups such as ramblers and horse riders as well as local communities.
We offer support to local councils, working with them to develop inclusive access as well as helping them repair and maintain lanes. If you are a local council and or user group and would like to discuss working with us, please contact [email protected]
Code of Conduct
- Only use roads that the public are entitled to ride motorcycles on.
- Keep to the defined area of the green road.
- Give plenty of space to walkers, horses and cyclists.
- Travel at a speed which is safe and sustainable for the road surface.
- Ride quietly and unobtrusively.
- Honour the Countryside Code.
- Endeavour to be a good ambassador for motorcycling.
Where do we ride?
We ride on green roads – roads that are classified as Byways Open to All Traffic (BOATs) or Unclassified County Roads (UCRs). There are approximately 75 miles of green roads in Surrey.
Surrey County Council has a Rights of Way map which provides details of all rights of way in the County.
The TRF Green Road Map provides information about green roads across the UK.
For anyone interested in off-road riding we have additionally compiled a list of off-road riding locations which you can download as a PDF.
