COACHING

All new members can participate in the Saturday Junior Club, so see the Junior page for more details. Advance Junior Club members are by invitation only and normally will be selected from the Saturday Junior Club, although occasionally we will be offering assessment opportunities through the Club social rides.

Adult Coaching

2025 will offer a new approach of coaching to our adult members – Skills Camps. Therse sessions will be included in our membership fees, so effective FREE to members. The coaching team remains supportive of the development of MTB skills for our adult members, so it’s never too late to start learning a deeper understanding of the skills and techniques that will improve your enjoyment of the sport. You may think you know how to ride, but you may be surprised by the difference a few sessions of coaching will make to your riding.

The primary source of adult coaching (and a real positive benefit to members) will be the introduction of regular coaching sessions as part of our social ride programme. The Social Ride & Skills Camps will commence on the 5th April 2025 and be held on the first and third Saturday of every month. Each session will be progressive – building up from core techniques to more advance skills that requires riders to be competent in these core skills in order to safely execute. Don’t miss-out on this summer season programme and pencil into your riding diary now.

1:1 Coaching

An alternative offer for those who cannot regularly ride Saturday mornings or just prefer more focused 1:1 coaching then consider booking personal bespoke 1:1 coaching. These sessions run for approx. 2.5 hours and are subject to availability of an appropriately qualified coach.

NOTE: All one-to-one coaching sessions or personal coaching will be under separate contract fees directly with the coach. If you are interested in individual coaching or wish to register your interest in a group session, then please email  Gary Scott – Head Coach with your enquiry.

Club Outrides

During the year, the Club will be offering opportunities to members to explore other riding locations by running a number of outrides to other MTB riding centres, forests and general local cross-country ventures. These will be run every fourth Saturday from April 2025 and open to all members, including our Advance Juniors. Riders will need to be competent MTB riders, self-sufficient and have a reasonable level of fitness, as these rides will be between 3 – 4 hours, including lunch stop. Qualified first aid support and friendly advice always on hand.
Dates and locations will be available on our rides and events page and/or via Facebook, so do visit regularly to avoid disappointment or confirm any material changes (weather cancellations etc).
