OffTheGridMTB, a local Cycling club in Aviemore, is excited to promote their upcoming Natural Trails Course. This course is specifically designed to help riders become more comfortable on steeper, more technical natural trails. It serves as a bridge between normal riding and a more aggressive style, allowing participants to confidently navigate Enduro style or full mountain trails.
The Natural Trails Course focuses on going back to basics and mastering the foundational knowledge needed for this style of riding. Once these building blocks are established, riders will learn how to adapt and “tweak” their skills for the unique challenges of natural trails. One of the great things about natural trails is that their character changes depending on the weather, providing riders with different line choices. It's an exhilarating way to ride, and participants will quickly find themselves eagerly anticipating the mud and roots, which add an extra element of fun to the experience.
For those with limited availability, the course can be split into two 3-hour sessions on different days. This flexibility allows riders to still benefit from the course, even if they can't commit to a full day. If you and a friend are interested in joining the course, simply reach out to the organiser to check for availability.
On the day of the course, participants can expect a confidence-boosting morning focused on establishing the essential building blocks. As the day progresses, riders will have the opportunity to tackle steeper terrain at Burnside. This section of the course offers excellent trails that allow riders to gain confidence and enhance their understanding of the basic mechanics required for riding steeper trails. It's the perfect introduction to Enduro style trails.
But don't just take our word for it – hear it from riders who have already taken part in the Natural Trails Course. Evka Kupska gave OffTheGridMTB a glowing 5-star review, stating that the course was well worth the drive to Badaguish. They had a fantastic day riding a variety of trails and appreciated the refresher of going “back to basics” at the beginning. The course served as a great confidence booster and helped them identify and overcome bad habits they were unaware of.
Another satisfied rider provided a 5-star review, expressing their enthusiasm for the course. They mentioned that even though they had been riding for a few years, they still learned a great deal from the course. They praised the tremendous value for money, as the full day of instruction, along with the provided lunch, exceeded their expectations. Furthermore, they highly recommended contacting Neil, the organiser, whether one is interested in improving core skills or simply enjoying a packed lunch.
If you're looking to improve your skills, gain confidence, and have a great time riding natural trails, OffTheGridMTB's Natural Trails Course is the perfect opportunity for you. Get in touch with Neil today to secure your spot and enjoy a day of exhilarating and educational riding.
