Ready to step up from those blue trails but finding the technical bits a bit tricky? Our intermediate mountain bike program in Castlegar is just the thing for riders looking to smooth out those rough spots. We're all about giving you the skills to handle those tricky sections with a bit more ease.
Think about it: You're on a trail, coming up to a rocky patch or a tight turn that used to slow you down. Now, you're approaching it more confidently. This program teaches you to understand the trail, adjust your body the right way, and use your bike to help, not hinder. And if something doesn't go quite right? You'll know how to fix it and keep going.
We start at the Castlegar bike park for the first week. That's where our PMBIA certified coaches get to know what you're aiming for and how you ride. It's not just about teaching generic skills; it's about focusing on what you specifically need to get better.
Then, we head over to Merry Creek trails. Here, you'll practice what you've learned in real situations, building your confidence and skill where it counts. Our coaches are great at figuring out what you need to level up your riding. They give you focused tips and feedback right when you need it.
If you're keen to challenge yourself a bit more and enjoy your rides even more, our intermediate program in Castlegar is here for you. Come join us, and let's tackle those trails together, turning those tricky spots into parts of the ride you look forward to.
