Heartbreak Ridge
Heartbreak Ridge Guided Ride
Join a Limitlass guide for an epic all-female mountain bike adventure on one of the UK’s most iconic trails—Heartbreak Ridge. This 30 km route takes us from the picturesque town of Ballater into the rugged Aberdeenshire mountains, with a steady but rewarding climb leading to an unforgettable descent.
The 4 km black-graded descent is packed with technical rock gardens, rolling granite slabs, and fast, flowing sections. Along the way, your guide will offer tips to help you tackle the more technical sections with confidence.
What to expect:
✅ A challenging but rewarding ride through stunning mountain landscapes
✅ Expert guidance to boost your confidence on technical terrain
✅ A supportive, all-female group to share the stoke
With 800 m of climbing, this ride is best suited for intermediate to advanced riders with a solid level of fitness. Whether you’re riding Heartbreak Ridge for the first time or looking to refine your skills, this is your chance to push your limits and have an unforgettable day on the trails.
