What past Riders have to say....
I've been riding for many years, even doing some advanced stuff, but the coaches showed me how to do things that I was never able to do (or at least, do well, or fast!). The afternoon spent sessioning & riding the trails with Charlotte proved just how awesome the skill learning was! Cleared some gnarly stuff with focus and confidence, and felt amazing with my progress! I'm very happy that I signed up for the 1-day skills sessions, and I'm looking forward to doing another later in the season to hone my skills even more! I would 100% recommend it for new and advanced riders.

Drove 2 hours to take part in a one day MTB course, and it was well worth it. Solid coaching, with a focus on fundamentals that will, with practice, yield efficient and safe riding and an improved skillset. The coaches were knowledgeable, approachable, and the other riders were friendly and positive. It was like riding with friends, even though we'd only just met. Fond memories and I will likely return to take part again.
