FUNDAMENTALS OF MOUNTAIN BIKING RIDE - AN INTRODUCTION TO MOUNTAIN BIKING

*** This HSBC UK Breeze bike ride is a beginners mountain bike ride, brought to you by a qualified Fundamentals of Mountain Bike Leader. To deliver rides as per the remit of the Fundamentals of MTB Award, I also hold a valid 2 day outdoor first aid certificate. ****

Gwidyr Forest

This is a great ride if you have never mountain biked and want to see what its all about. It would also be good if you are returning to the trails after a break away or even if you fancy a more relaxing ride in the forest.

We will be riding forest roads at Gwdydir with a few rougher sections.

There is no cafe or shop so please bring food / drink with you.

You need to book a place ahead of joining the ride.

WHAT TO BRING:
- A bike in good working order & suitable for riding off road. Either a mountain bike, a hybrid with mountain bike tyres or a gravel bike with suitable tyres
A bike with front suspension is fine (a "hard tail")

- A helmet is compulsory for this ride

- Full fingered gloves are essential.

- Suitable footwear eg. trainers (no open toed shoes/ sandals)

- You may want to consider some eye protection - sunglasses would be fine

- Suitable cloths. Something that you will feel comfortable in - but no baggy trousers or clothes that could get caught or snagged. Eg. tracksuit bottoms would work well, layers are good. Consider the weather (a waterproof coat is a good idea).

-A small rucksack is useful

- A drink and any snacks for the ride (you'll find the miles more strenuous than the same road miles - so its worth having something to eat before the ride to keep you going)



-

- A spare inner tube suitable for your tyres

If you've got any questions or wonder whether this is the ride for you - please do get in touch.
