Trail Tech Tune Up

This program is designed for intermediate riders seeking to enhance their riding skills, boost their confidence on rough terrain, and ultimately increase their enjoyment of riding. Each week, we will focus on learning or refining a specific skill, followed by practical application on the trail. This structured approach not only helps riders progress but also offers the opportunity to form new friendships with potential riding buddies.

​

The program is four weeks' duration, with an option to extend for another few weeks as we usually find that everyone wants more!

​

Manly Dam & surrounds, Sydney, NSW

​

Clinic Dates:

  • Tuesdays 22, 29 October, 5, 12 November (with 19 & 26 Nov as wet weather options plus Tuesdays in Dec as optional additional dates), 6.30-8.00am

​

What we'll be covering in this program:

  • Bike setup - we'll look at your ergonomics, suspension settings, tyre pressures and tyre selection, and ensuring your bike is well set up for your riding style

  • Understanding the importance of body position and weight distribution

​

Is this clinic for me?

  • Ideally you will have attended one of our Fundamentals skills clinics (or similar) and have a good grasp of basic mountain biking skills. You have been mountain biking for a while and are ready to expand your range of skills and ride more challenging trail features. For example, if you find yourself walking small sections of the Manly Dam trail or choosing to take the B-lines, then this program is for you!

  • If you're a mountain biker and keen for a weekly session of challenge, fun, and great camaraderie with other riders - then yes!
