Improver Skills Training Day

Improving Your Mountain Biking

These groups are for those who are progressing on from beginner and have been riding a while but may still be needing some more confidence and tips on how to improve.

They are filled with encouragement, fun and laughter.  We look at your riding and what habits you have picked up which may be holding you back.  We put the theory into practice and then the practice into actual riding.

So please get in touch to put your name down for the group session so we can get you riding confidently as soon as possible.

If you would rather not wait or would like a more personal session then we can do an individual half day – £200
