Our introductory courses are
designed to take participants from ‘green’
beginner level to take on blue graded mountain bike
trails and after two days be comfortable taking on
red graded sections. If you excel, you will even be
allowed to attempt a black graded obstacle at the
end!
The highlight of the weekend is a ride on a suitably
graded route to pull together all the techniques you
have learnt over the session.
