WHAT TO EXPECT
Get ready to ride
We'll meet at Mystic Park Trailhead, get everyone organised and make sure riders and bikes are ready for a fun session on the trails.
Build your skills
We'll work on developing the fundamental skills riders need to progress, with coaching, games, and challenges tailored to the group's ability and the terrain we're riding.
Get climbing
In order to explore more of Mystic's Blue/intermediate terrain, we'll head uphill so riders should be comfortable climbing for 15+ minutes at a time.
Hit the Blue trails
Once we're warmed up, we'll put those skills into practice on Green and easy Blue trails, building confidence as riders tackle new terrain and features.
Ride, challenge & have fun!
