This is what you get on this adventure:
What’s not included:
You will need to be able to pedal for three to four hours. Even the easy tours require that riders be fit enough to pedal up some rising terrain.
For the beginner clinics, it is important that you can keep balance and pedal for several hours. You’ll learn everything else over the course of the clinic.
For the intermediate clinics, you will have to have mastered flat pedals and be able to ride relatively well in technical areas. Over the course, you will get better at steeper and more technical trails that may contain larger technical trail features, drops and high speed cornering.
To book this adventure, all riders, regardless of age or height, must be capable of operating hand brakes and shifting gears. A guide will explain the different mountain bike techniques and body positions to get you feeling comfortable on the trail. You will progress at a level that is consistent with your comfort. Once you finally get the hang of trail riding, you will only want more!
