What the day feels like

How the day unfolds

The day is deliberately unhurried: arrival and sign-on lead into getting kitted up and a safety briefing, then you meet your instructor and are allocated a bike. Morning drills focus on the fundamentals of control and balance on flat, open ground; after a lunch break the afternoon introduces gentle progression only when riders are ready, with coaching tailored to each person.
