Rides

We put on four rides a month in term time for members of our club.  These are on Saturday and Sunday, in Ashton Court, Leigh Woods and sometimes the Forest of Dean.

We offer rides for two age groups:

Mini Shredders: up to around age 11. Learning off road cycling basics and getting more confident and competent with every session.

Trail Shredders: over 11. Competent shredders who are looking to increase their skills, speed and community of riding friends as they progress towards independence.

There are  four types of ride:  

SPOKE rides are group rides led by qualified ride leaders. There are three 'levels'. Parents don't come on these. 90 minutes.

HUB rides are family rides for Mini and Trail Shredders. We split into groups and ride with others. Parents come too. 90 minutes.

Mini Shredders Coaching. These are fun, static coaching sessions for Mini Shredders to learn mountain biking basics. They are run by qualified mountain bike coaches. Suitable up to  about age 10. 60 minutes

Trail Shredders club.  Blocks of 6 week sessions for confident young mountain bikers aged 11-15 to develop their skills. Led by qualified ride leaders and coaches. Every Saturday morning 

 9-10.30 in term time. 90 minutes
