Introductory Mountain Biking Course

Introductory Mountain Biking Course

Join our Introduction to Mountain Biking Course and the adventure revolution in Scotland.

This introductory course concentrates on teaching the essential skills necessary for mountain biking success.

Aimed at those with little off-road experience and limited time this action packed weekend will teach you the techniques required to competently ride the fantastic trails of the 7Stanes project.

Over a busy weekend (either 1 or 2 days) we cover safety and trail etiquette, bike set up and riding position, braking, climbing, descending, cornering and dealing with obstacles (roots, rocks and drop-offs).

The course is based at Glentress, Peebles and we spend most of the day riding the skills area, blue route and wrap up with selected sections of the red.

Our experienced instructors are all fully qualified mountain bike leaders and courses are limited to a maximum of six students. This ensures personal attention and a friendly, relaxed and supportive atmosphere.

Highlights:

  • Riding the best trails in Britain
  • Gaining confidence
  • Learning new skills
  • Great qualified instructors
  • Friendly atmosphere, great fun, small groups.
