Guided Trips
With over 14 years in Dunkeld, our guides and coaches have intimate knowledge of the surrounding area, and experience with a wide range of clients.
From families looking for the assurance and safety of riding with a professional, to groups of black trail riding Enduro buddies wanting local knowledge and advanced coaching and racing tuition, to discerning clients wanting the ultimate experience, and best bang for their buck.
We have built up a fantastic network of partners and providers that we trust and support. Their commitment to sustainability and the high quality of their service has led to the creation of a number of the best cycling, outdoor and adventure products in Perthshire.
Each of our trips is carefully put together, often unique to you, using local knowledge and understanding. We have ridden and enjoyed them all ourselves, and see many of the providers as friends!

Families, Beginner coaching and Easy Rides
In recent years we have seen a massive growth in folks new to cycling, and families with mixed abillities. We can provide a guide to accompany you on your ride, and take you to the best scenery, via the best trails for your group. This takes the pressure off any navigating, and we are here to help with a puncture or mechanical issue. So whether you are staying in Dunkeld and Birnam, Pitlochry, Blairgowrie, Aberfeldy or Perth, we can provide trips either local to you, or from our base here Dunkeld, Perthshire.
If some want to stick to the main path, we can lead other members of the group over the rooty sections, providing tips or coaching advice as we go. Or maybe you all want to go on e bikes for the day and head up into the hills, and get away from the office. Have a picnic by the Lochs, or next to the Waterfall. We can arrange that too.
These can be run as a full day trip, ideal if you are up for the weekend, the week or are organising a birthday party, team building or corporate outing
Coaching and tuition is very much down the the needs and abilities of the riders. From your first full suspension ebike, or even just getting back on the saddle after a period away from the trails, we can gently build up confidence and begin to work on strengths and skills along the way.
Intermediate and Advanced
Guided mtb trips around beautiful Highland Perthshire are available for all groups. If you are comfortable on reds and blacks, and want to hit the best of the best in a day, or over a weekend, then grab a guide. Cherry pick the finest singletrack, the steepest steeps, a half day blast, or a full day epic. We would recommend a full day ride, that takes in some of the local hills, climbs and descents, in the best order.
There are over 40 red/black descents within a 30 minute cycle of Dunkeld, making Progression Bikes a natural base for a days biking. We would recommend a guide to take you on all the best routes, as even with an O.S map or app, you will struggle to link up the sections. Best ridden on full suspension bikes, there are plenty of sections to test even the most competent cyclist.
Because of the range of trails, finding the best to practice on can be tough. So with a coach we can head straight for the ideal features to work on those skills.
Bespoke Guiding, or something different
Perthshire is full of opportunities for the ultimate adventure. Multi day, multi activity, or something fully custom we can make it happen.
On the guiding front we can deliver bikes, and a days guiding, anywhere in Dunkeld, Perthshire, or beyond. So if you already have accomodation booked, and want to explore what is local to you just give us a call.
Electric bikes have opened up a world of possiblities, taking fitness, and alot of distance issues, out of the equation. So we can organise a trip to the coast to see the seals, a distillery tour or just a networking day on bikes.
If you are looking at a days guiding, not only can we remove any navigation worries, but we can organise, packed lunches, a small whisky tasting, salmon tasting, or even meet a catered lunch on the hill.
