ABOUT OUR SESSIONS
Each session lasts 2 hours (including breaks). In all sessions, we promote safe and responsible riding, as well as an awareness of different signs that young riders may come across on trails. The age ranges we state are a guide, but will be informed by your child's experience and confidence on a bike.

OUR SESSIONS
-
MUDDY EXPLORERS
Junior sessions for younger riders
6 - 8 years old
Our Muddy Explorers sessions focus on building the foundational skills and techniques of safe mountain biking in a fun, supportive environment. Riders develop balance, braking, cornering and bike control while growing confidence on their bikes.
These sessions are ideal for little Mudders aged 6 - 8.
All Muddy Explorers sessions take place at Woodrow’s Bike Track.
-
MUDDY SHREDDERS
Advanced sessions for confident young riders
9 - 11 years old
Muddy Shredders sessions are designed for riders ready to take the next step. Coaching places greater emphasis on stamina, flow and advanced techniques, helping riders tackle longer and more challenging routes with confidence and control.
These sessions are recommended for stronger, more confident Mudders aged 9–11.
Sessions will initially take place at Woodrow’s Bike Track, using more technical sections of the track. As riders progress, sessions may expand to include local trails.

COMING SOON: CHALLENGER MTB
For older, trail-ready teenagers.
12 to 15 years old
Challenger MTB is our upcoming programme for older teenagers aged 12 to 15 who are technically confident, strong on their bikes, and ready to push themselves further.
These sessions will focus on:
- Completing longer, more technical trails
- Developing advanced skills such as jumps, drops and wheelies
- Building confidence, endurance and independence on the bike
Challenger MTB is designed as a gateway to competitions, advanced coaching and more technical courses, supporting riders as they move towards the next stage of their mountain biking journey.
These session outlines are a guide, and every rider is assessed individually based on their ability, confidence, and technique, so they can learn and progress at the right level.
