Description

Specially created in collaboration with the Hope Women Weekend, we have design a brand new unique course to provide you with a mixture of coaching followed by a guided ride. The day will consist of 3 hours coaching followed by a guided ride on some of the Forest of Deans finest single track trails. Our coaches have planned in the perfect route for you to put all your skills into practice in the afternoon, showing you the best bits of the Forest. The whole day will be a fun, relaxed and inclusive day, aimed at riders already riding red graded trails.

This course isn’t about making you the fastest rider, or hitting the biggest feature. We have designed this course for you to get the most out of your riding every ride. We look at some of the fundamental skills that we often see are over looked, to help you flow effortlessly through any trail. We look at braking points and how we can use these to gain us more grip and consistent speed. We show you how to see the trail in a different way, helping you to make calm decisions even at speed. We look at different lines and how they can affect our ride for good or worse. The whole day is focused around bringing you back in control both technically and mentally to allow you to hit the trails with more focus, commitment and control.

The guided ride in the afternoon is a real treat. Our coaches know the Forest of Dean trails of the back of our hands so we have create a ride that takes in the best parts of the trails on a relaxed ride that gets you grinning ear to ear. You will have the time to ask questions, repeat features or simply flow from trail to trail. We are super excited to share this day with you and look forward to seeing you smiles at the end of the day.
