Mountain Bike Training Courses

Private MTB Coaching & Training

The SnowBikers skills sessions are directed by Graham O’Hanlon. Graham is an experienced MTB leader, having worked within the UK and also in the French Alps. He is a senior tutor for the Scottish Mountain Bike Leaders Association, and one of only 6 mentor-tutors for the same scheme. Graham is also a tutor for the GoMTB skills award scheme and is a level 2 British Cycling Coach.

Moutain bike courses and skills training At SnowBikers, we specialise in working with riders who have hit some kind of barrier to their riding, either metaphorically or literally! We have experience in helping riders build confidence at the start of their off-road riding career, or rebuild it following an accident or injury. We also work with many clients who have plateaued in their riding ability and need help to breakthrough to the next level.

We strongly believe the best coaching results come from allowing our riders to control the pace and content of sessions wherever possible. In this way riders can work on the particular skills that they wish to develop and challenge themselves to a level they are comfortable with. This bespoke approach to MTB coaching lends itself best to small groups and we are happy to provide one-to-one coaching or a session for up to 4 riders if preferred.

In some circumstances we can coach larger groups; please contact us for further information.

Our coaching can be completed on site in the grounds of Coed Cae near Dolgellau or we can meet you at Coed y Brenin visitor centre for a day or a half day coaching on the trails.

Each day runs from 10am until around 4pm.
