Choose your own session focus

Design a course just for you

If none of our other private skills sessions or workshops suit your specific requirements, you can choose your own session focus in order to zero in on your particular goals and aspirations.

Private tuition gives you the option of working on your particular problems and difficulties for as long as you wish. So if you're lacking confidence on slippery roots, shiver at the thought of a rocky drop-off or just want help in finding your flow, book a private coaching session for yourself or group of friends.

You can choose from a half day session or spend a full day with us. However, we recommend a split between formal coaching and a coached guided afternoon ride if you choose the full day option.

Just looking for guiding?

If you're just looking to go riding we also have private mountain bike guided rides available in The Surrey Hills along with the very best singletrack in the South-East.
