We have an exciting range of mountain bike courses planned for the forthcoming months, with a snapshot of what’s happening below.
All our courses are led by British Cycling qualified trainers with no more than 8 riders in any group. Booking is essential and must be made via the Eventbrite links against each course. Payment needs to be made at the time of booking.
If you don’t have your own bike, we offer a 20% discount off the normal hire charge for course participants, but please book early to ensure a bike is available. For bike hire only, please ring us on 01751 460585 and mention which course you’re booked on.
Please note that all riders must wear a suitable helmet. No helmet – no ride.
Our courses are supported by Forest England and they have reduced their entry fee to Dalby from £9 to £3 for course participants. At the end of your training course, please ask for a barrier exit code from one of our team.
