Downhill mountain biking is exhilarating,  but it can also be a little intimidating. If you’ve been tempted to give it a go, but were daunted by the prospect, then Dirt Divas provides the perfect opportunity and environment.

They’ll be running coaching weekends over the summer, culminating in a race weekend at the end of the summer. You can expect some expert coaching from World Cup racers, no less, who’ll provide expert guidance on what to think about when riding DH, how to approach obstacles, and how to prepare. Then pit your skills against each other in a timed race event.

What’s more, the skills and feedback you get at the coaching events will develop your general riding skills no end! So whether you are planning an alpine trip and want to skill up, or planning to take on the British Downhill Series, you’ll find it useful and bags of fun.

After this, you’ll be raring to take on the next DH challenge.

Date: 10th/11th May Forest of Dean (coaching), 30th August Innerleithen (coaching), Ride with the Pros Weekender October 4th/5th.
