Choice Expanded in The Surrey Hills

We're offering more courses, dates and course places than ever before

In the last month or so we've seen a massive increase in interest in our courses with the majority in April completely selling out. Whether it's the end of the rain or the end of the recession we're not sure, but it has prompted us to increase the choice of courses and dates available to help satisfy demand.

In line with this we're also announcing two brand new maintenance workshops for those thinking about getting their hands a little mucky. Firstly, we have Mountain Bike Set-up Essentials which is designed to show you how to set-up your bike to match you and your riding style. Second, we now have a Basic Mountain Bike Maintenance course which will teach you how to set-up and maintain your brakes, suspension, gears and much more.

Finally this month we're delighted to announce an update to our most popular skills weekend, our Mountain Bike Improver Weekend. You can now chose from two versions of the course; one that focuses more on getting those wheels off the ground and one that zeros in on technique to ride complex, unpredictable terrain with speed, confidence and efficiency.

We think you'll love the extra choices we're now offering.

See you out on the trails
