Jack and Jez are running an MTB coaching session based around skills, so we will be working on flat pedal skills, front wheel lifts, drop offs, cornering etc

We will be meeting in the top car park by the main entrance to UCLAN arena, where we have run cross sessions last year.

The session is open to adults and children and is aimed at building skills and confidence, with the intention that riders can go out onto the trails and put their skills into use.

Location

Gisburn forest

We are meeting up in Gisburn Forest for a day of MTB riding, plan is to start in the skills loop and have a play in there before hitting the trails so proabably best to use the car park near the hub.

With blue, red and black/orange options and plenty of fire roads there is something for everyone.

As usual on this type of ride we cannot accommodate unaccompanied children.

Witton Country Park, Blackburn

We are meeting up in the park to have a play on the pump track, before riding up the (muddy) bridleway to Billinge Woods and play on the trails up there.

They are not particularly long or that demanding but are good fun and there are some tricky options for the brave/confident!

Looking to meet up around half nine at the pump track, which is by the cafe.

As usual no unaccompanied children please.

MTB Skills Session

Three of our Red Rose Riders ventured out in the woods today to take part in a coaching session with Dave Lawson from Bury Clarion, the session was based on building skills and decision making that can be used out on the trail or in a race setting.

The riders looked at taking different lines through rooty sections and were working on moving their weight around the bike. All the riders improved their flow as they attempted the section a number of times and looked at how the different line choices affected their speed through the section.
