Get started on your journey to mountain biking.
Hosted at Glentress MTB trails. Following on from the Easy Riders project we have created a 3 week beginners mountain bike course to keep you riding and explore the trail option at Glentress. We’ll give you the tools to confidently tackle on the trail ahead of you, from positioning yourself correctly on the bike to absorb obstacles and promote freedom of movement. This course is designed to build the very basic mountain biking skills you will need to enjoy the trails at Glentress as well as build and maintain the fitness you have already established through the Easy Riders project.
The course will run for 3 weekly sessions, each one lasting about 2 hours in duration. Like Easy Riders, we will encourage you to practice each week before the following session.
