what an amazing week of weather, what a time to go riding!  Please take a moment to work your way through all the announcements below.

1. Term One 2023 After School Coaching Program will kick off the day after Waitangi Day, DON’T MISS OUT.

Please take the time to get your kids registered ASAP so we can form groups, with new guides on the team we will be able to run multiple groups on some same days, so get your registration in so we can form groups.
 
Remember this is a “placeholder date”, we will confirm days, groups etc as soon as possible.
It would be helpful if you could indicate if your kids are planning on racing the Secondary Schools Champs in Blenheim this October, details here: https://schools.cyclingnewzealand.nz/events-and-results/national-school-mtb-championships
We have had several requests for the girls group to be split into an Intermediate and an Advanced group, and we will also be looking at splitting some other age groups similarly, so please indicate if you have a preference.
We are excited that our new coaching gadget “Velocity Radar Speed Gun” has arrived and keen to try it out in some sessions where we can use it to help better judge exit speed from sections of trail and features.
We understand the school holidays and Christmas period can be an expensive time, if for any reason you need to stagger your coaching program payment please get in touch and we will see what we can work out.  The important thing is to REGISTER EARLY so we can form groups.  Remember, once registered you get 15% off parts and accessories from our shop.

5. Adult MTB Coaching in 2023: What are YOUR biking progression goals?

Are you interested in improving your skills so you can continue riding with your kids? Or are you just keen to conquer some tricky corners on a favorite trail? or perhaps like head coach Alistair, you are keen to try and learn to jump properly this year?  Perhaps you recently bought an e-mtb and are finding it a bit of a battle to ride well?   Mountain Bike coaching is the cheapest possible way to upgrade your performance on the bike, far far cheaper than most component upgrades, and certainly cheaper than a new bike! Grab some friends, or do a sneaky private session so your mates don’t know how you got good so fast… get in touch, private coaching sessions are available almost anytime, for any level, on any topic.  The most common complaint we hear about our coaching courses … “why didn’t I get some coaching earlier!”.
