Tools to enable enjoyment!

I’d ridden a little bit off road before this class, including a longer trek with Hidden Tracks. Although I enjoyed that longer trek, there where moments when I lost my confidence or wasn’t really sure how I was going to negotiate certain turns. I was a beginner - I had to face it.
Charles took us through a gently graded series of exercises - each one solving a specific situation. By the end I was taking down-hill runs with a whole new set of tools in my head! My entire alertness and safety awareness just got an upgrade. Thank Charles! Ben

Absolutely brilliant day

Absolutely brilliant day. Learnt so so much and I feel like I’m in so much more control of my bike. Can’t believe the things I tackled by the day that I would have walked around at the beginning!! Thank you so much. See you soon :-))

My confidence grew and grew

I’ve been lucky to have done 2 of these skills days and am so much more able to deal with trickier terrain now. Charlie’s clear explanation and encouragement has definitely made me more confident and because he breaks everything down, explains and demonstrates what he is teaching, it quickly makes sense. When one skill has been practiced for a bit, we then move onto another skill, often building on the last one.
I have covered many things in the 2 sessions, with very little repetition and am keen to do more.
Thanks so much Charlie.
