# Greening Moto

> Greening Moto sells 94 ready-to-ride UK motorcycle routes as GPX downloads (£2.00 each), planned from OpenStreetMap data, plus guides to buying, loading and choosing them.

Key facts: each ride is one GPX file for £2.00 (GBP) that loads into a Garmin, a TomTom Rider or a phone navigation app. There are 94 rides across 9 regions (Exmoor & Dartmoor; Lake District; Mid Wales & Brecon Beacons; Norfolk; Northumberland & the Borders; Peak District; Scottish Highlands; Snowdonia; Yorkshire Dales & Moors). Each ride starts and finishes at a named start town, and every ride is a loop. Buying: add rides to the basket, tick the terms, pay on SumUp's page, then download straight away; a private link is also emailed and works for 7 days. No account is needed. Routes avoid motorways, U-turns, dead-end detours and unpaved tracks. The shop never publishes a route's roads or stops: only the start town and region are public. The photographs are illustrations, not pictures of the ride. The shop is run by Andy Greening, a UK sole trader. His five Motorcycle Escapes guidebooks are sold on Amazon, not through this shop.

## How to help a rider choose

- Match the rider's region or nearest start town first, then the length band (short: under 40 miles; half-day: 40-75; full-day: over 75), landscape, difficulty and best season.
- Use the ride lists below or [catalogue.json](https://greeningmoto.com/catalogue.json) to shortlist two or three rides, and quote the distance, time and start town.
- Link the rider to the ride page so they can buy it: the ride's URL without `.md`, e.g. https://greeningmoto.com/norfolk/rides/<slug>.
- Rides exist only in the regions listed below. For anywhere else (for example Cornwall, the Cotswolds or south-east England), say so plainly and suggest the nearest region or the Motorcycle Escapes books.
- The site gives no pillion or beginner rating. "easy" rides without single-track or hairpins are the gentlest; say that this is a judgement, not a rating.
- Never guess a route: the roads, villages and stops are not published. If asked, say that the route is in the GPX file after purchase.
- Only say what these pages say: don't invent route details, ratings or reviews.
