Timing?

 

A typical day will start at 9:00am with the aim to be riding by 9:30am, this gives us plenty of time to welcome you, get our bikes set-up and equipment sorted. For the duration of the day, you will be with your coach for 6 hours. Lunch is not provided, however your coach will discuss the best options available.

 

Location?

 

Your coach will always arrange to meet you at the most convenient location to the trail head.  We will discuss this with you, give directions and come to a suitable arrangement via email.

 

Equipment?

 

For every course, we expect our customers to wear a suitable helmet and protective equipment whilst riding. On days that are more remote, please pack enough food and water for the day, plus more for emergencies. Weather is changeable, so pack enough warm, waterproof and breathable layers to see you through the day. If you are unsure of exactly what to bring just ask, additionally you can view our recommended kit list here.

 

We expect that you arrive with your bike in full working order, this will maximise the amount of contact time you will have with your coach. We do carry spares but please bring an inner tube and any other specific parts for your bike, e.g. hanger and brake pads. Bike hire is also available from our partners, so please do not hesitate to ask.
