Beginners Skills Weekends
The mountain biking in Chamonix is unlike the riding most people enjoy in the UK. There are various challenges that you just don't find on your average ride on the South Downs. Tight alpine switchbacks, hour long off-road climbs, super technical rocky descents, roots as big as your thigh, water drainage gullies. These are things you will encounter in Chamonix when you come out and ride with MBMB. Some riders lap it up but others struggle. Teaching and tuition has always been part of the MBMB holiday but when we've got a ride to get through, sometimes we just don't have the time to give everyone the attention we'd like to.
This is why we have set up pre-season skills training weekends. You'll experience 3 full days riding our favourite trails in Chamonix but the days will be based around improving your existing skills and learning new ones. We will cover not only Alpine riding skills, but bike maintenance and bike set-up. You'd be amazed how clever set-up of you bike can reduce fatigue on extended descents. You'll be amazed at how your technique will improve in just a few days. One doesn't become a good rider just by putting in the hours. Mountain biking is a technical sport and once the techniques are understood, they can be taught to others.
