Interested in trying your skill at mountain biking but don’t know where to start? These classes are for you.
At the beginner level we will be teaching the fundamentals of mountain biking and having practicing our new skills on easy trails.

​You are ready for the intermediate class If you have some experience (1+ years) of riding a mtn bike off-road and you can change gears, brake and pedal efficiently and would like to improve your skills over rocks, ruts, roots, turns and small drop offs, either in ascents or descents with much more confidence and skill! Plus you’ll learn many new trails locally, and including short and long road trips.
