Chasing Trails Mountain Bike Instruction
Chasing Trails started in North Yorkshire in 2008 with the aim of providing the best quality mountain bike skills coaching, MTB maintenance courses, wheel building courses and guided rides
Mountain Bike Skills
MTB skills training has always been the most popular service, especially 1:1 & 1:2 days. The comments page has plenty of feedback from riders of all abilities. Courses are run to the riders needs & this is a big part the continuing positive reviews. It’s been great to see more & more people getting into mountain biking & getting active from young to old
1:1 & 1:2 days are flexible by nature & tuition is available anytime there’s a space in the diary. You get the most from the day as it’s tailored to your needs only. Just get in touch for availability. Skills courses & coaching days are run at the world class Dalby Forest trails in North Yorkshire
North York Moors guided rides
The North York Moors have miles of great riding, scenery to match & quite often the chance for a good pub lunch. There are trails suitable for all abilities & fitness levels, just get in touch to arrange a day to suit. You might be a family, a group of mates or you can arrange a 1:1 or 1:2 day. The wide open space of the Moors does seem to refresh the soul…
Maintenance courses
A maintenance course will give you the confidence to service your bike without the fear of ending up with a floor full of random parts! It’s also wise to have some knowledge to avoid a long walk home caused by something you may have been able to fix at the trailside…
Wheel Building Courses
If you already have some maintenance skill but wheel building seems a dark art, join us for a day where you can learn the process from start to finish & if you wish, leave the day with a shiny new pair of wheels. In the last couple of years we’ve also started a pro wheelbuilding service backed by 20 years of experience. MTB wheels for XC, all mountain & downhill built with no compromise
Book 2 at the same time from maintenance courses, skills courses & guided days & get 10% off!
MTB breaks
We also run intermediate level skills weekends at the 7stanes Dalbeattie & Kirroughtree trails in Southern Scotland for riders wanting to combine a break with learning some new skills on great trails. We run at least 1 mountain bike coast to coast each year & there are 2013 dates up at the moment
North Yorkshire info
Our local trails are Dalby Forest & the North York Moors. Dalby’s ideal for all levels of MTB technical skills training & the North York Moors have plenty of amazing day rides for all mountain bikers – 1st timers or seasoned riders visiting the area & needing a guide
