Overview

This is a day aimed at new riders. We'll help you to develop good technical riding habits right from the start, which will make all the difference long term. Plus we'll ensure your bike is set up right for you so that you can spend a full day in the hills. You'll spend the day on our purpose-built skills course where our friendly, highly qualified instructors will introduce you to the fundamental techniques of mountain bike riding. We’re surrounded by some of the finest mountain biking routes in Europe, with world class single track routes, including the Gwydyr Forest trails and the Penmachno Trail right outside our back door. Other classic trails at Coed y Brenin and Coed Llandegla are only a short drive from our centre. Plus, there’s the iconic ride of Snowdon. But you'll also find purpose-built skills and coaching circuit and bike workshop facility with a wide range of tools and resources, plus maps to help you get the most from the area.
