We’re thrilled to announce a special day of mountain biking just for you! This year, we’re teaming up with TrailBloom to bring you a Ladies Day Coaching Event at Sherwood Pines on Saturday 13th September. Whether you're brand new to mountain biking or looking to fine-tune your trail skills, we've got something for everyone.

As part of TrailBloom’s exciting day of women-focused trail activities, we'll be offering free Fundamentals coaching sessions and Advanced trail coaching (just £20) for riders looking to take it up a notch.

Here’s the schedule:

🕙 10:00–11:00am – Fundamentals Coaching (Free)
🕚 11:00–12:30pm – Trail Coaching (£20 – separate female & male groups)
🕐 1:00–2:00pm – Fundamentals Coaching (Free)
🕑 2:00–3:30pm – Trail Coaching (£20 – separate female & male groups)

Whether you're just getting started or pushing to progress, our small-group sessions will cover essential skills to help you feel more confident and in control on the trails:

✅ Proper bike positioning for maximum control
✅ Slow bike control and balance techniques
✅ How to handle loose and rough surfaces like a pro
✅ Choosing the best lines through turns and berms
✅ Braking control for better grip and stability

Fundamentals coaching will take place on the arena area grass, using our ramps and skills kit we'll build confidence in a range of fundamental mtb techniques.
For our Trail coaching sessions, we'll progress things by taking groups out on the trails at Sherwood where we can put the techniques into practice. 
The perfect setting for beginners and improvers alike. You’ll get tailored guidance in a fun, social, and supportive environment.

Whether you’re looking to:

• Build your confidence on the bike,
• Master essential trail techniques, or
• Simply have a great time on the trails with like-minded riders…

…this day is for you. 💪

Our free fundamentals sessions are ideal for newcomers, while the Trail coaching groups (female and male) offer deeper progression for those wanting more trail time and instruction.
