In the Easter holidays, based at Sherwood Pines, our
fantastic MTB camps return.
For the older riders we’re running our Red Masterclass, riders will spend a
full day (10:00-16:00) out on the trails, we’ll cover everything from cornering
technique through to air time. This is a brilliant session, but attending
riders need to have the skills and confidence to deal with the technical
terrain found on the Red route & the fitness to ride for several hours off
road.
For less confident or younger riders, our Blue group half-day session is the
perfect place to start. This session is the perfect place to build confidence.
Riders will again head out on the trails and develop fundamental off-road
skills; this session is more suitable for younger cyclists or riders with less
confidence on uneven terrain.
Either option will be a fantastic day, we can’t promise good weather but we can promise good fun!
Full details of both sessions can be found below…

This session is comparable to our Pedal classes, we’ve found the longer Red session is tough for younger, less confident cyclists or riders with a lower level of fitness. The Blue class solves these problems, it’s the perfect environment to develop new off-road cycling skills and have a fun, enjoyable day.

We’ll start off on a wide grassy area using our ramps and pieces of equipment to assess and build fundamental techniques. Riders will then progress out onto the trails. Starting with the pump track riders will begin to apply their skills to real world settings, we’ll move out onto the new sections of the Sherwood pines blue trail, where riders will experience steeper downhills, and sweeping berm turns. Along the way we’ll including plenty of skills games and mini challenges to keep riders entertained.
