Mountain Biking Trails
Beginner to Novice MTB Trails
If this is your first time taking to a mountain bike on a trail, we’ve got courses and trails in superb Cornish locations, designed to ease you in gently and help you gain the skills you need to keep up with your soon to be new found hobby. No matter your confidence on two wheels, you’ll be sure to have a great day out with this exhilarating sport. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never been off-road before, as our instructors will keep the pace in line with your ability and confidence.
You’ll learn a bunch of techniques to help you progress onto more rugged trails. From using your gears effectively, taking corners, climbing, descending and small drop-off’s too.
These novice trails are great for families with younger children, couples who want to try something a bit different or groups of gung-ho teens alike!
Intermediate MTB trails
Our intermediate-level courses are specifically designed to push your boundaries and improve your skills on a mountain bike. We’ll progress you onto more technical terrains and enrich your skills. By the end of the session, you’ll feel even more confident and in control on tighter corners, larger gradient descents and when that large log or tree branch is in your pathway.
The techniques we’ll cover in the session all depend on the route and the day but expect to get to grips with bunny hops, unweighting, wheel lifts and much more!
So if you feel you’ve reached a bit of a plateau in your skills, or you’ve been off the bike for a bit and want to refresh your skills, this intermediate half-day mountain biking session is perfect for you.
The course takes place on some of our most rugged, rocky and technical terrain and will demand everything you and your MTB have got – perfect for serious riders. By the time you’ve finished this session, you’ll be able to take pretty much anything a mountain bike trail around the UK has to offer you.
Some of the teaching you’ll receive in this session includes stance and body positioning for optimum ascends and stability, techniques to improve speed, flow, balance and control plus a tonne of fun stuff including advanced bunny hops, wheel lifts, jumps and drops. Race face time!
Mountain bikes we use
Like all cyclists, we’re pretty geeky and particular when it comes to our kit and choice of ride. All our mountain bikes on offer, whether for novices or advanced courses are Kona mountain bikes.
Kona has been championing free-riding, cyclo-cross and downhill mountain biking since the 1990’s. Which means, they’ve had plenty of time to perfect their rides. We keep our bikes in tip-top condition too with regular servicing and maintenance so you’re guaranteed top performance from your ride when you take on one of our trails.
Staying Safe Whilst Having Fun
A priority at Era Adventures is ensuring you stay safe whilst having an awesome time. We’ll provide you with a cycling helmet when you come to do a session to keep you safe on the trails. Plus, all of our mountain bike instructors are fully qualified CTC and SMBLA instructors with years of experience on these trails and others worldwide.
