Cycle 4 Life and MBRS have teamed up again to provide a mountain biking course with a difference!
Following a recent trip to the Lake District to add yet another industry leading qualification to his bow, Chris is now qualified to Briitish Cycling Level 2 Mountain Biking Coach!!

Designed to suit 9 to 12 year olds, the 4 hour long course includes technical mountain biking skills such as Track Stands, Manuals, Bunny Hops, Wheel Lifts, Drop Offs and Roll Offs. You will also be riding on purpose made trails in the local area, ideal for testing your new skills!
Sunday 20th February 2011. Meet at StockGrove Country Park just before 9.30am. £15 per child or £20 per pair of friends or siblings.
Ideal for anyone who has already taken part in the very popular Introduction to Mountain Biking Courses, or to anyone who can demonstrate confident and competent bike handling skills and a willingness to learn some serious off road mountain biking skills!

On Day 1, you will learn the basic skills needed to enjoy riding your bike in off - road environments.
On Day 2, its off into the woods, onto the bridleways and byways in the countryside.
This course has been a sell out on every occasion so please book your place early to avoid disapointment.
Both Instructors are fully insured, experienced and have current CRB checks in place with Bedfordshire Council.

Over this weekend, Sam and Chris (another local mountain biking fan) took a small group of women who wanted to learn more about the skills needed to ride their bikes anywhere and everywhere.
With the help of great weather, lovely bridleways and byways we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
