New course – Gravel, get riding anywhere

We’ve got a new course in a new genre of cycling – gravel cycling!

Well we say new, but honestly gravel riding is more like the original cycling – just riding your bike wherever you like. Many kids learn to ride everywhere – roads, cycle paths, gravel tracks, bridleways, towpaths – anywhere the whim takes them and that’s basically what gravel riding is.

So this course is to get you riding anywhere, comfortably and safely and able to enjoy it to the fullest. We cover:

Setting up your bike – making it comfortable and efficient for you
What to take with you – tools, spares, food and drinks
Riding on roads – we will cover road safety and how to get confident and comfortable riding with traffic
Riding on other surfaces – how to tackle different surfaces like gravel, grass, bumpy trails and dirt. You will learn cornering, ascending and descending, as well as small trail obstacles
Trailside maintenance – how to fix things that go wrong on your bike while you’re out, so that you can get home. Things such as punctures, broken chains and things coming loose on (or snapping off!) your bike

This is a one day course and costs £100 per person. It can be run in mixed or ladies only groups and can also be run as a course with parents and 11+ year old children.

We are now taking bookings for our first date on Saturday September 7th 2024.
Check out the event page here for more details.
