What We Do
Building on our experiences, we have developed a programme of Academy sessions. These are structured and have a logical approach. We operate strategically planned home and away days. Enabling learning in different locations on a variety of terrain.
We aim to have at least 6 sessions at Whinlatter and 6 sessions in other areas during the course of our Academy year.
We also regularly arrange trips and overnight stays with other MTB clubs. This is a fantastic opportunity for the members to meet and make friends with other riders of a similar age and ability.
Our Cyclewise Academy leaders are proficient at providing and delivering a variety of led rides which have something for everyone.
Incorporated into these sessions are the following –
Skills
Navigation
Leadership
First Aid
Mechanics/Maintenance
Hydration
Nutrition
Racing
Advice on the kit required to keep you comfortable and warm in winter and cool in the summer.
This fantastic learning environment lays the foundations of the skills associated with the sport of Mountain Biking. Above all it makes our sport SAFE and FUN for all the youngsters participating.
Members meet at the Academy clubhouse behind the Cyclewise Whinlatter shop.
In summer, the sessions usually run from 10am – 3pm. They are shortened to 10am – 1pm in the winter.
Times can change according to the location, weather, etc. Members will be advised of this via our Facebook Group.
