Mountain bike instruction with discounts

IT'S always a little bit daunting to dust off your mountain bike if you haven't been riding for a while.
Or maybe you are tired of trying - and failing - to keep up with your mates, or have a trick you just never seem to be able to pull off.

Now Mountain Bike Skills is offering a two for one deal on skills courses for the month of June.

If you book for one person - which costs from £79 - you can take someone else along for free. Or think of it that you pay just £39.50 each.

The deal has been put on by the owner Mike Stafford to launch his Mountain Bike Skills website.

And seen as it shares our fab name, we thought it was worth a post.

Mike, who has been an instructor for more than a decade, said: "This is a really great chance for people who might otherwise be put off by the thought of forking out for some instruction to come along and make the most of it.

"We are offering the two for one deal on bookings made in June.

"So far the new site is really exciting and we are really interested to get feedback and find out what people think."

Mike, who works closely with a team of instructors including downhill junkie Mark Warren, has been working closely with Mountain Bike Instruction for the past five years.

Mountain Bike Skills is a small company in the north west of England and has been offering skills course on Rivington Pike and at Kentmere for the past five years - with more than 3,000 people having wheeled past their door.

The courses are available for beginners, intermediates and advanced riders with instruction tailored to the group. One to one sessions are also available.

Mike added: "It is such a good way for people to keep fit and it is so much fun - I really believe in the sport and have been addicted to it for years.

"What we see with the courses is that everyone is always so thrilled to have learnt something new or even just to have boosted their confidence.

"Our feedback is 100% positive and I am sure this new website will help move things forward. We care about the trails and we care about what people do on them."
