What is the weight limit

Comments

Hi, i would like to book your riding experience for myself and my husband for our honeymoon, I think yours is the best value based on the trail variety, length of the ride and location. I am currently 88KG and I see the weight limit is 85kg. I am an experienced rider, is this a hard limit or a guide weight. Cheers
