Weekend

8 March Gear Up Girl - GUG - Weekend #1 SOLD OUT! We have now listed GUG #2 for the following weekend, May 8/9.

mtnbike.com.au is excited to announce that we will be taking a Gear Up Girl weekend in 2010. The date has been set! We're heading down on the first weekend of May. Weekend #1 will depart Sydney Saturday 1 May and return Sunday 2 May. Weekend #2 will depart Sydney Saturday 8 May and return Sunday 9 May. Come along and for our first (and second) ever GUG weekend!

A little about us, we take fully catered mountain bike trips from Sydney to Canberra to ride flowing single track. As you may well be aware, Canberra is considered the home of mountain biking and it held the 2009 World Championships.

If you’re just starting off or a seasoned vet, this weekend is for you! On Saturday, the first ride of the weekend, a skills session will take place where you’ll learn how to brake, corner, jump and other tricks. The session is taken by a qualified instructor with years of experience.

The skills session gives everyone the opportunity to ask questions that you’ve always been afraid to ask. You will be able to draw upon these skills as the weekend progresses and feel yourself better equipped to be true mtnbiker.

There is the opportunity for three rides over the weekend. These rides are all at different locations. To add a little more excitement, we have trial Radical-Lights for you to venture out into the night, if you’re game!

During our recent trips we have had many ladies join us for the weekends. Some of those riders have been beginners while others have been racers for years. We feel comfortable instructing across the whole range of riders abilities. What riders will come to appreciate is that the beauty of Canberra is that the trails, single track that is, are built for all abilities. Forget Sydney’s boring fire trails!!

The cost for the weekend is $299. This covers accommodation, food and all transport. Accommodation is at the Australian Institute of Sport. For more information check out the FAQ page on the site then hit Book Now to make sure you get your spot on this trip.
