Trail Cycle Leader Award

Trail Cycle Leaders are qualified to lead groups of up to 6 riders throughout Scotland and the UK as outlined below:

On public highways, way-marked routes, rights-of-way on which cycles are permitted, identifiable routes, tracks and trails with obvious navigational features and with low to medium technical difficulty. The award covers normal summer conditions. These routes will be 90-95% rideable and take the group no more than 30 minutes walk by a reasonably fit person away from a shelter with communication, and to be no more than 600 metres in height. They will not involve cycling activity of more than one day’s length.

The TCL consists of a two day training course, followed by a one day assessment.

Coach : rider ratio - 1:8 (max) - Training
Coach : rider ratio - 1:4 (max) - Assessment

Holders of a Trail Cycle Leader Award may progress to the Mountain Bike Leader award which entails a further 2 days training and one day assessment.
