NEW WINTER HOURS 9.00am - 12.00pm

PLEASE NOTE:

THIS SESSION IS FOR BLUE ABILITY RIDERS THAT ARE ABLE TO CYCLE A MINIMUM OF 6 MILES WITH A GOOD LEVEL OF FITNESS AS WE WILL GO OFF SITE AND TRAIL RIDE LONGER DISTANCES. It is important to be sure your child can do this as it makes the group ride much more enjoyable.

These sessions are designed for individuals that have already secured secure basic skills on a bike and therefore are ready to develop further techniques such as cornering, steeper terrain, small drops and small jumps in addition to riding longer trails.

The coaches will look to teach the participants how to: stop with control using back, front and combined brakes; maintain a suitable riding positions to deal with low obstacles overhead, obstacles on the ground and undulating terrain; move the body on the bike to deal with sharp bumps and simple trail features such as inclines, corners and sequential changes in directions; remain stable and neutralise bumps and undulations on the trail.

The session will include riding for short distances, up to 5 miles depending on the group, and take place on the Trail Academy’s private trails and pump track as well as in the woods immediately surrounding the school.

Price per session is £35.00

Duke of Kent School, Peaslake Road, Ewhurst Surrey GU6 7NS
