Late Summer Weekend
5-7th September 2025
The South London & Surrey TRF Group are happy to announce the 2025 Late Summer Weekend event over the weekend of 5th-7th September.
Hosted at Etherley Farm in the heart of the Surrey Hills the weekend will kick off on Friday night with attendees arriving, setting up camp and getting to know each other round a campfire.
After breakfast has been served on Saturday morning you’ll set off on a one of the guided trail rides. There will groups for beginners, intermediate and adventure bike riders.
When you return to camp in the evening and have dusted yourself off drinks will be available and you can order your choice of pizza from the visiting pizza van. We’ll all gather round the campfire and share stories about the day’s adventures.
Sunday will be more of the same with breakfast provided in the morning followed by a different guided ride before returning to the campsite in the afternoon and heading home.
If you’d prefer not to camp a different non-camping ticket is available.
All profits from the event will go to the Kent Surrey Sussex Air Ambulance. It won’t be used to raise funds for the TRF. In 2024 the event raised just over £900.
Routes
People’s skills and bikes vary and so do the routes we have on offer.
There will be two days of guided riding for each of Beginner, Intermediate and Adventure riders. The run leaders will make sure everyone is looked after and include petrol and lunch stops.
When you purchase your ticket, you’ll be able to select your riding group.
Beginner routes are designed to give you a taste of the trails whilst being able to take on a relaxed pace and not worrying about being presented with difficult trails.
Intermediate routes will cover more distance and have some more challenging riding included.
Adventure routes will suit larger bikes with some nice tarmac stretches and easier lanes thrown in, we would recommend 50:50 tyres though.
