ABOUT TRAIL BREAK
Trail Break was formed in 1994 from a mountain bike club called the Quad Squad. The club was unique at that time, formed out of a forward thinking corporate fitness programme that provided off-road cycling to all those people that had been motivated enough to buy a bike but didn't know how or where to use it. As the Quad Squad expanded more and more people wanted to get involved and it became necessary to expand and open the services up to the whole country.
From day one, Trail Break has kept to its original aims and set out to provide new events and services that satisfied what people were really looking for - combining the excitement and physical challenges of mountain biking with the social aspects of a laid back sport. We have always maintained a commitment to bringing novices into the sport and helping them develop the skill and confidence to progress as riders, as well as catering for experienced mountain bikers.
The result is a range of services that is as wide as it is deep. - If you ride a bike and want an off road experience to suit your abilities, we provide it. From 1994 to now, Trail Break has continued to move forward, bringing new ideas and turning old ones into classic events. From a 12 mile Saturday beginners ride around the north downs, to the mega classic, Trans-Andean Challenge, Trail Break have an event that's right for you. Trail Break provide more mountain bike events and service more people than anyone in the UK.
TEAM TRAIL BREAK
The core of Team Trail Break are:
Phil Harrison
The Boss - Company and event direction planning and coordination, public relations,
trail guiding, chef & driver!
Martin Harrison

In addition we have many extra regular guides and helpers who are invaluable to the smooth running of our events. We hope to have a full Team section on the site soon, so we can give credit to them all.
If you come along to any of the events, you'll meet the Team, a friendly and approachable bunch, who are serious about cycling but not much else!
The spirit and atmosphere at events has always been an important part of Trail Breaks success, so the 20 or more helpers and guides that make up the core of Team Trail Break are always on hand to offer assistance, advice and a little light hearted abuse!
Want to join Team Trail Break? You could stand to gain these exciting benefits:
- Work for next to nothing.
- Spend long hours up to your knees in mud and muck.
- Get frozen to death standing in the rain for several hours.
- Cycle around courses when everyone else is home and warm.
- Learn how to serve several hundred pork sandwiches, pasties and bowls of pasta, in a muddy field.
- Stay up very late, sing very badly and drink lots of alcohol.
- Develop either a) a broad sense of humour, or b) a complete loss of self respect.
All the team at Trail Break seem to love this lifestyle, and that probably says more about the company than anything else.
