It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned rider or are just getting into mountain biking… we have you covered with our calendar of training courses.
Our mountain biking training courses at Dalby Forest will have you riding harder, faster, and with more confidence. They are a brilliant way for riders of any ability to develop their skills, meet new friends, and do something completely different this summer. Nothing is more exhilarating or exciting than getting out on your bike and improving your skills!
All our courses are led by British Cycling qualified trainers with no more than 8 riders in any group.
It may sound like a cliché, but our mountain bike courses are for everyone. From teaching your children to ride a bike – a lifelong skill every child should have – to perfecting your trail basics and developing serious skills to tackle even the toughest of routes, we have the perfect course for you. Now is the time to take your skills to the next level.
More than 400 people have already joined us on one or more of our courses over the last year. They have developed new skills and are now riding with more confidence than ever, making the most of their time with our experts on the trails. As well as learning new skills, you can expect to have a lot of fun and come away with some epic stories to tell.
Don’t worry if you don’t have your own bike, we offer a 20% discount off the normal hire charge for course participants.
All our mountain bike training courses take place at Dalby Forest, one of England’s pinnacle trail centres for mountain biking and Yorkshire’s mountain biking Mecca! At Dalby we have everything from green family trails to black-graded loops and Dixon’s Hollow bike park for the real adrenaline junkies, so there’s something for everyone, regardless of skill and experience.
