  • Get confident over rough terrain with expert coaching
  • Learn about navigation skills and bike maintenance
  • End up saddle sore, mud covered, and with a big smile on everyone's faces
  • Perfect for beginners

You'll end up tired, saddle sore and covered in mud. You'll also learn loads of new skills and have an exhilarating adventure over a brilliant rough terrain course. Sound like fun? This experience is specially designed for family groups and don't worry if you've never tried mountain biking before - you're in safe hands. The aim of the day is to get all of you totally comfortable over rough terrain and the focus of the coaching will be around developing balancing skills, effective braking, descending without fear and ascending without pushing (oh yes - there are going to be a lot of hills involved!). You can also get coaching on navigation and bike maintenance. You'll be kitted out with a helmet (whether you don tight-fitting lycra is up to you). By the end of the day you'll probably be aching in muscles you never knew you had, but you'll have had loads of fun and you'll know why mountain biking is one of the country's fastest-growing sports.

Locations:

Haverthwaite, Cumbria; Hathersage, Derbyshire
