Mountain Bike How To

For most people, riding a bike is so much more than exercise, although that's where it started for many.
Riding a bike with people, riding a bike in nice places and riding a bike well are all component parts of an enjoyable day.

People and places are fairly easy to sort out but technical competence is a little more tricky.

Much like our "How To Gravel Ride" course, our "Mountain Bike How To" is designed to impart that technical competence for new or improving mountain bikers in a way that enables them to enjoy the journey on any terrain. (Our "How To" courses are also run in nice places with great people).

​

The morning is spent setting up your bike so that you have the maximum control and comfort whilst riding.
We then look at the basics: Gear choice, braking, cornering, steep ups and steep downs. (This is a workshop session where everybody is encouraged to try new things, loose bad habits and enjoy riding competently)

​

The afternoon is a guided ride (nice places/great people) where you can put the skills into context on the trails, take photos and generally feel awesome.

The cost for a Mountain Bike "How To" day is £250 with a ration of 1:4 (so bring three friends, split the bill and quadruple the enjoyment)
