Introducing our summer based youth development programme for 2025/26
This programme is aimed at 10-14 year old MTB kids who have a growing passion for mountain biking and want to hone their skills. Ideally all participants will have basic riding knowledge and be past beginner techniques. If your child is either side of these ages and is either a late bloomer into the sport or a young gun, flick us a message prior to arriving.
The programme will consist of fortnightly sessions over the summer season and we will cover:
Basics of MTB’ing:
Cornering
Descending
Climbing
Balance
Vision
(Jumping will not be included due to the potential risk)
Each night we plan to do a quick skill drill followed by a group ride to practise what we have learnt.
If any parents wish to ride with us and take part (you can teach old dogs new tricks) then please do, so you can help our ride leaders spread the load and keep our safety in numbers up. If we have too many kids and not enough leaders/parents, we may be required to reduce numbers on the day.
All riders must have their parents fill out the waiver form here:

Meeting place will be the carpark beside the toilets ready for a 5:00pm sharp start time.
ALL riders must have a suitable bike, approved safety helmet and the appropriate clothing for mountain biking. Helmets must be worn at all times.
Cost: Members are free, non members a cash donation each time.
