Singletrack School Newsletter

It's that time of year again

We may be entering the season of mud, rain and cold, but there's always Christmas to look forward to

This Autumn we still have a jam packed Winter programme of courses and rides on offer but, as usual this time of year, there's the annual question of what to buy the mountain biker in your life for Christmas.

Help is at hand. What better way to say, "I love you" than to give the gift of awesome skills with a Singletrack School gift voucher.

This year our gift vouchers take the form of a greetings card printed with the voucher details and, if you wish, a seasonal message which you can add to your order when you purchase.

Vouchers are despatched next day and, if you hit certain values, we'll even help you fill your stockings with some wrappable gifts you can hand over along with the voucher. See below for more details.

Don't forget to look out for our Christmas themed ad in this December's MBR Magazine (hits the shelves on the 13th of November).

See you out on the trails!

Christmas gift ideas

Stuck for a gift idea? Why not give a Singletrack School gift voucher?

A rider drops off a rocky step

If you're looking to buy a Singletrack School skills course or guided adventure for a friend or relative this Christmas, you'll be pleased to learn that you don't have to decide which course or ride is best for them as you can instead buy our Singletrack School gift vouchers.

When they receive their voucher the lucky recipient just needs to give us a call. We'll then guide them through all the options and help them choose the right course or ride that fits their goals and needs perfectly.

Quick message to say HUGE thanks for giving my husband a great day's biking a week ago. He came back buzzing... you obviously gave him the right combination of excitement and fear!

NEW Shropshire Hills skills venue

Yorkshire too far North? Surrey Hills too far South? We've been listening

Carding Mill Valley

From April 2014 we plan to start rolling out our course programme in a brand new location in The Shropshire Hills right in the heart of England. Starting with our general courses and a selection of guided technical half day and full day rides, we'll gradually ramp up this up to offering our full programme.

The Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is famous for its stunning hills, rolling farmland, woods and river-carved valleys. This incredibly varied landscape is rich in geology, wildlife and is ingrained with heritage.

For mountain bikers the area has a lot to offer. From the forest singletrack of Mortimer Forest and Hopton Woods, to the technical back country trails of the Long Mynd and Wenlock Edge, the Shropshire Hills has it all.

Dates for 2014 have already started to appear on our web site and we're already taking online bookings. For more information please call 0333 12 12 125.

A New Year's resolution with a difference

Unlimited guided rides, massive course discounts and much more with a Switchback Club gift membership

Switchback Club is a great new way to enjoy unlimited guided rides, get skills course discounts of up to 75% and a personalised mountain bike fitness training plan, all for a small monthly membership fee.

We have three monthly Membership Plans starting at just £29.00 per month, but why not consider the brilliant idea of buying the mountain biker in your life an annual gift subscription? Just select the plan you want in the Gift Voucher Details section of the form.

All plans include unlimited guided rides in The Surrey Hills so, even if you rode just once a month with us, you're still saving money even before you consider the other benefits of membership.
