Skills Training Sessions

We are continuing to run a series of skills sessions in house. It has been something we have been consistently asked for, they will be run monthly going forward, so if you miss out on the first run, fret not, we will have more sessions popping up regularly.

We have come up with two different sessions to build specific skills needed when out on adventures. These will be run twice through winter and spring and beyond to meet demand.

Sessions cost $50 per person and places are limited to 8 per class so all participants will get a chance for hands on practice and some one-on-one help. Please note that session bookings are refundable only up to 2 weeks prior to the event. After this time, bookings can only be changed to a later date, but not refunded.

Hosted by staff Mike and Cath, they will draw on their years of experience to give to you the skills you need to fix any problems you have with your bikes when you’re far from home.
