"My riding was okay before the tuition but my confidence was not great because of my lack of understanding of technique.

Once I'd been on the course it all clicked into place and I'm riding trails with much more attack and control making it so much more enjoyable. I'm getting pretty handy at black graded trails using the training I received from MB7 which has helped make me an all round better rider."

We all know the best of the Summertime passes quickly so make the most of the season and get along to our evening sessions and make the most of those precious hours after work to blow away the cobwebs, feel really good about yourself and spend time improving your skills.

This combination of short focused tuition sessions, interspersed with personal practice over a 6 week period will build a rock solid foundation of skills and techniques, and allow you to see fundamental and lasting improvements in your riding.
These sessions are perfect if you like to learn at a relaxed pace and will help you develop your skills without feeling overwhelmed.

You'll be best suited if you have some experience of riding but want to improve - as a guide for suitability you'll be an intermediate rider who is happy to tackle most red graded trails.

WHATS COVERED IN THE COURSE?

There are a set of core techniques that will allow you to develop your skills and improve speed and attack when mountain biking. All of these skills will be covered over the six sessions.

After each evening you'll get practice points which will allow you to go away and practice, digest and consolidate in your own time between sessions. Thse short, focused sessions will help you keep focussed on each evenings skills and help reduce physical and mental fatigue.

You will need to provide or hire your own mountain bike for these sessions as hire bikes are not available from Glentress during the evening. Please ensure your bike is in good working order - a safety check will be completed before you will be allowed to participate in the course.
