We have arranged an Intermediate Level ladies only course with the fabulous Katy Curd on Thursday 22nd June.
There are 5 places on the course, which consists of 3 hours of tuition with World Champion & world class coach, Katy Curd.
The cost is £60 per person, which can be paid in cash on the day or by bank transfer in advance.
Our usual Wednesday visit to Croft will incorporate some skills practice this week.
After a warm up lap, we will do a development lap. This will involve doing a lap of the trail stopping at certain obstacles to practice our skills: rock gardens, cornering & small jumps. There is also an option to practice drops if anyone fancies that too.
After that we will finish with a quick lap to blend all the practice together.
Meet in the car park at 5.45pm
You will need a helmet, but not lights.

With the race being on the Sunday, this is our last chance to practice for the Swinley Enduro.
The idea is to get as many of us club members as possible that are racing to go round together for some last minute practice.
We’re not sure of the course will be taped up by this point, so we’ll be riding our best guess at what it will be and practicing the awkward bits and sharing collective knowledge on line choices.
While this event is aimed at giving practice to those racing, everyone is welcome and you can see what you’re missing out on 😁
Gaz, our club coach, will be leading a training day at the Forest of Dean. This will be aimed at anyone who want to improve aspects of their riding, from those who want to conquer drops, to those who want to enhance their trails skills.
Gaz is a MIAS L2 qualified coach with experience in training all levels, particularly novice riders, on a variety of trails.
This will be a low-pressure ride, taking in the skills areas as well as Verderers and a few other bits. No-one will be asked to ride anything they are uncomfortable with.
Gaz’s training days traditionally end with tea and cake as well.
Meeting at the café at 10am, look out for the big bloke in the pink club shirt
This a very relaxed ride, at an easy pace, with lots of opportunities to develop and practice skills. Everyone is welcome and this is a great introductory ride if you’re just starting or coming back to mountain biking.
This week we’re going to do some skills demonstrations and practice, using the features of the trail. We’ll cover the basics you’ll need for tackling technical terrain – front wheel lifts, unweighting the back well, climbing and descending safely.
You must bring a helmet, but you don’t need lights, yet.
Also thoroughly recommend insect repellent!
Meet in the Croft car park at 5.30pm for a 5.45pm start
