bike > Bike: Skills Weeks

 

Mountain bike skills holidays with Great Rock.

Our mountain bike skills holiday came about after a visit to Great Rock skills training. Ed Oxley’s training impressed us so much that we decided to offer a week-long holiday here in Spain, based around his skills training program. You only have to watch Ed ride a mountain bike to see that he’s got the technique sorted, he pumps and flows, carrying speed with ease no matter what the terrain. This isn’t (just) natural ability though, Ed understands how to make a mountain bike do these things and because of that he can explain them to you. Watching mountain bikers progress their riding skills over their week-long holiday is fantastic and everyone on this holiday leaves with a real sense of achievement.

We manage our skills holidays carefully to ensure we get a good balance between skills, riding and relaxing. We ride 6 days out of the week, however we use plenty of uplift in the van to make sure that this is manageable. The holiday is above all fun, no standing around all day listening to lectures about how to corner, just fun mountain biking with Ed’s skills training worked in to each day. We also make sure that there is plenty of time to experience the culture, food and drink that this part of Spain offers in abundance.
