Events at Sherwood Pines
- Meet on the arena area grass.
In the February half term, based at Sherwood Pines, we’ve got two fantastic mountain bike sessions available. For the older riders our Red Masterclass returns, riders will spend a full day (10:00-16:00) out on the trails, we’ll cover everything from cornering technique through to air time. This is a fantastic session, but attending riders need to have the skills and confidence to deal with the technical terrain found on the Red route & the fitness to ride for several hours off-road. For less confident or younger riders, our Blue group morning session is the perfect place to start. Running from 09:30 - 12:00, this session is the perfect place to build confidence. Riders will again head out on the trails and develop fundamental off-road skills; this session is more suitable for smaller legs or riders with less confidence on uneven terrain. |

What sort of bike do I need? For our Red trail group, you'll need a good quality MTB, suitable for riding over the rough terrain found at Sherwood Pines Red route trail & bike park area.
What equipment is needed?
• Working bike & helmet – this doesn’t have to be a high-end model but must be of good quality suitable for advanced off-road terrain and in good working order. Helmets must of appropriate size/fit for the rider & must be in good condition (no cracks) If you’re not sure if your bike is sufficient then feel free to contact us on team@clancybriggs.co.uk & our coaches can advise you further.
• Packed lunch (with lots of high energy food)
• Spare innertube (that fits your bike)
• Warm clothing and waterproofs. You can’t have enough of these even if the weather looks great, we’ll be outside all day and once cold or wet it’s hard to warmup again.
• Plenty of snacks and drinks. Cycling is hard work, so lots of high energy snacks (bananas, flapjacks and jelly babies are popular) are important. Plenty of water/drinks.
• Gloves – cold hands are horrible. Crashing without gloves is also unpleasant.
• Sun cream (it’s always sunny in Sherwood)
