Private MTB Skills Coaching

We provide private mountain bike training as 1:1 coaching sessions or for up to 4 people.

We can arrange training on an ad hoc basis so get in touch and we'll prepare a course to suit your individual requirements.

Challenge Your Boundaries: V.I. Tandem Off Road Skills Experience

Meet up with other tandem riders and try out some off-road riding. We’ll do some basic skills sessions, and then take a guided ride on the forest trails which will be tailored to match the ability of the group. The coaching and riding will all be led by a qualified SnowBikers mountain bike leader.
The jam is aimed at established stoker and pilot pairs, but no previous experience of off-road riding is required. At least one of the pair will need to be over 18. We will be riding on rough tracks and trails, so skinny-tyred road tandems are best avoided. If in doubt, why not hire our Lapierre MTB tandem. (£45 per Tandem pair)

Sat 16 Jun 2012 10am - 1pm	Tandem Jam	£15pp

LAMB - Leading Adaptive Mountain Bikers

Improvements in adaptive bike technology mean that it is now possible to offer riders with disabilities a genuine off-road experience. The new MinorTaur trail at Coed y Brenin opens up further possibilities, as it has been engineered to take adaptive trikes and quads along its entire length, and leads to the possibility of trail centre rides for mixed ability groups. The LAMB course is designed to provide mountain bike leaders (MBLA, CTC, OTC or MIAS Level 2) with the appropriate confidence, skills and knowledge to be able to include, encourage and support adaptive riders within their groups.

On Sun 4th November the Challenge your Boundaries project is hosting a "Momentum Ride 2012" aMTB guided ride which LAMB candidates are encouraged to take part in to gain valuable aMTB leadership experience.

Course Date	Course	Cost
Fri 2nd & Sat 3rd Nov 2012	LAMB	£150
