SKILLS WEEKS
Every so often we run skills weeks aimed at different grades of rider. More information on each type of week is listed below. Alternatively contact us if you have specific requirements and would like a week tailored to your group.
Beginners Skills Week
When: TBC
Description: This week is aimed at those new to mountain biking and looking to take those first steps to riding off road. You will need to have experience of riding a bike in general, such as riding to work or road cycling. Some experience off road will be beneficial.
5 days of tuition included covering the following skills: Balance, track standing, scanning the trail (picking your line), looking ahead, riding down steep banks, climbing technique, cornering and bike maintenance. Video analysis tuition will also be available to fine tune your skills and technique.
The price for the week is £520 (based on 2 sharing a twin room), a bargain when considering a UK based skills day can cost you £85 (and this doesn't inc. accommodation etc!).
This price will give you (among other things) 7 nights luxury accommodation, 4 days guided riding and tuition, 1 day villa based skills & workshop session (or you can just chill by the pool!), airport transfers, breakfast and an unlimited free bar.
