MTB Coaching Courses at Belper Bike Barn 2021
Like everyone else, we're hoping that things will have returned to normal as soon as possible early next year. By March we hope to be able to offer our mountain bike coaching course programme for 2021. We are going to be running three types of course throughout the year, please find details of them as follows:
Adults' introduction to MTBing course - £50 per person
Kids' fundamental MTB skills day - £45 per person
Adults' intermediate skills course. - £75 per person
The Adults’ intro to MTBing will be limited to 4 places per course. The session will Start at 9:30am and finish at 4pm covering the basics of bike set up, positioning on the bike, braking, concerning, ascending, descending, line choice, overcoming obstacles etc. The morning session will take place at the skills area at the Barn, whilst the afternoon session will be conducted using the local trails nearby, putting into practice what has been learned in the morning. (Minimum age 13).
The Kids’ sessions will be conducted at the Skills area at the Bike Barn and will be a great way for kids to learn the fundamentals of mountain biking in the safe environment of Belper Bike Barn. A maximum of 8 places per course will be available. (Age range 6 - 12).
The Adults’ Intermediate MTB Course builds upon what has been learnt on the Introductory courses and is suitable for those who wish to take their riding to the next level. It will be assumed those taking part are comfortable riding blue and red grade trails and would like to be able to tackle more advanced features such as drop offs, jumps, rock gardens etc. The morning session will take place at the Barn, whilst in the afternoon we will travel to Black Rocks to make use of the more advanced trail features there. A maximum of 4 places per course will be available. (Minimum age 13).
