Holiday Club: Mountain Biking Mon-Fri
Try something a little different, with our holiday club mountain biking sessions that make use of our off-road trails.
Open to riders aged 8-16yrs.
Our main Holiday Club during from Easter - October school holidays is from 10am-3pm (Monday to Friday) for riders of all abilities aged 8-16. Riders are encouraged to bring their own suitable off-road bikes but a bike may be hired for a fee of £5 per session.
We also run holiday club sessions in some school holidays over the winter months on various days and for shorter periods. For information on all sessions currently available click on the session times and booking button below.
There will be a one-hour lunch break and all children must be self-sufficient and bring enough food and snacks for the whole day - there won’t be catering available on site and children won’t be allowed off-site at lunchtime.
Children must be dropped off between 15 minutes before the session, and picked up promptly at the end. Repeated early drop offs/late pick ups will result in your booking being declined for future holiday clubs as we cannot look after children not on cycling sessions, except at lunchtime.
Please read through all of the following information before bringing your child to Holiday Clubs, as they contain essential information about what you will need to bring as well as our code of conduct for children and guardians.

Suitable for: Youth A & Junior Club level riders with track experience and some race experience or intending to race.
What to expect: This session will be physically demanding working on a broad approach to training, race skills and tactics as well as endurance, riding rollers, strength, speed and conditioning, with an off-bike workshop during the break.
