Discover Mountain Biking Experience Day

Experience a thrilling taste mountain biking in the Surrey Hills

So you'd like to experience the exciting sport of mountain biking for the first time, but are unsure where to start, look no further than our Discover Mountain Biking experience day.

We'll get you moving in the right direction; from selecting the right gear to knowing how to brake safely, we'll give you the skills to get riding off-road for the first time in safety and with confidence.

Then, in the afternoon, we'll take you and your new skills down some easy technical trails to give you a taste of the buzz you can get from this thrilling and rewarding sport.

Our coaches will also be on hand to guide you through the problems and pitfalls of purchasing your own bike should you decide to take up the sport on a regular basis

A couple of weeks ago I didn't have the confidence to ride over a match stick, let alone a rooty trail or a few logs
