New Course Announcement
Fast-track Singletrack Skills Weekend

Our mountain bike skills weekends are incredibly popular with our customers, but there's always been quite a leap from our beginners orientated Introduction to Mountain Biking Weekend up to our most popular Mountain Bike Improver Weekend.

We've therefore concluded that we really need a new course to sit between these two courses and bridge the gap.

We are therefore announcing today our brand new Fast-track Singletrack Skills Weekend which is aimed at riders who have been riding for a year or so and have perhaps come to the conclusion that there's more to this mountain biking malarkey than simply being able to ride a bike.

The weekend consists of two days of coaching sessions and guided rides and, as with all of our mountain bike skills weekends, top quality hotel accommodation is included in the price.

See you out on the trails.

Mountain Bike Skills Weekends
Take your skills to the next level with our weekend coaching courses

For those looking to advance their skills rapidly we offer a selection of weekend courses which are designed to help you progress quickly through our Singletrack Skills Course Programme and workshops.

Our four weekend courses feature a selection of our half day skills sessions and guided rides and are aimed at bringing on the skills of beginner, intermediate and advanced riders quickly over the two days of the course.

If you're not looking for a skills orientated weekend, don't forget we now have two pure riding weekends in our Discover Mountain Biking Weekend and Surrey Hills Explorer Weekend.

Introduction to Mountain Biking Weekend
Learn to ride off-road in the beautiful Surrey Hills or Yorkshire Moors

A rider makes her way through the treesSpend a weekend with under the watchful eyes of our coaches learning the fundamentals of mountain biking and we'll get you out there exploring the trails in safety and with confidence.

Our Introduction to Mountain Biking Weekend will give you the core mountain bike skills that you can apply to any terrain, in any location, in any conditions. Starting with gentle terrain, our coaches will soon have you tackling trails you would never have previously attempted.

On day two we'll teach you how to set-up and perform basic maintenance on your bike before heading out again on the trails to put it all into practice.

On Saturday night we'll treat you to a night in a 4-star hotel with a slap-up breakfast included to get you going on day two.

Pricing options

  • £199.00
    Including Saturday night 4-star hotel accommodation and breakfast on Sunday morning*
  • £159.00
    Without Saturday night accommodation

* Based on two people sharing. £50 single room supplement

NEW Fast-track Singletrack Skills Weekend
Take your skills from zero to hero in the space of a single weekend

A rider makes her way through the treesSo you've been mountain biking a while and have probably realised that there's more to this incredibly exciting sport than simply being able to ride a bike.

On our Fast-track Singletrack Skills Weekend our expert coaches will take what you have learned so far to the next level and beyond. We'll tell what you're already doing right, so you can do more of that, and what your doing wrong.

We'll polish your fundamentals, iron out any bad habits you may have picked up and then we'll take these core skills to the next level by teaching you some trail skills that will have you riding your local loops faster and tackling larger obstacles more confidently than ever before.

On Saturday night we'll treat you to a night in a 4-star hotel with a slap-up breakfast included to get you going on day two.

Pricing options

  • £199.00

NEW Alpine Improver Weekend
The perfect way to prime yourself for your next Alpine or UK trail centre trip

A rider makes her way through the treesSo you've booked your next holiday in The Alps, but will you be able to cut it when you get there? The last thing you want is to not get the most out of your time away, or worse still, injure yourself on the first day!

Before you go why not spend a weekend with our expert coaches learning the technical skills you'll need to ride alpine terrain like it's second nature? We'll build your confidence on steep terrain and get you riding switchbacks and drops offs with style and finesse.

Our Alpine Improver Weekend also looks at the key elements to finding your flow and builds upon your fundamentals to improve your general singletrack skills and energy management.
