This half day workshop involves a combination of bike skills coaching and mindset skills coaching to show you how to intentionally shift into a confidence mindset and get in flow. This is the LEVEL 1 workshop for those new or relatively new to off road mountain biking or who are getting back into mountain biking after a period away from it.

Is this Course for You?

This course is especially designed for women who are just getting into or have recently got into mountain biking. You should be confident to ride your bike on traffic free roads. We will start out by taking it gently to and see what everyone is comfortable and then decide what trails to ride based on that.

It is extremely important to me to make sure that you do not feel out of your depth or under pressure to ride anything you don’t feel comfortable with at any time. You are strongly encouraged to say immediately if this is how you feel at any time on the day.
