Whether you want to learn some basic techniques, you want to build your confidence over obstacles and downhill or you want to learn more for that trip to Morzine, why not try a skills course?
Get Mountain Biking offers women's only mountain bike skills courses on the last Saturday of each month.
Introductory courses running for females are:
November 24th (Woburn Trails) - 1 place left
January 26th (Harlestone Firs)
February 23rd (Woburn Trails)
March 29th (Woburn Trails)
Cost: £60
On the course you will get skills instruction including bike checks and correct bike positioning, getting up and down hills, cornering, drop offs, how to tackle obstacles and the opportunity to try clipless pedals. We even run through removing a wheel and repairing a puncture (- unless of course you already know how!).
Courses run at a pace to suit the group (and no, we've never left anyone behind yet) so as long as you are exercising at least once a week - dont worry, you'll be fine.
The courses run 10am till 4pm and are delivered by female instructors and limited to a ratio of 1 instructor to 6 clients. For more photos of the course and instruction see here.
If your other half wants to come along to try out the play area, jumps and downhills (each are 20-30 seconds long) then day passes to ride at Woburn Trails are available, please email us for details.
