What to expect
Expect a practical, skills-focused ride rather than a leisurely cruise. Ben will assess your ability early on and adjust the pace and terrain accordingly. You'll work on bike handling, line choice and rhythm across natural trails, with breaks to catch breath and receive pointers. The coaching keeps things honest—he'll push you to improve without throwing you in over your head. Bring water or refill at the park fountains. The terrain is rugged but rideable for anyone with moderate fitness and no joint or cardiovascular concerns.
Good to know
Moderate fitness essential; unsuitable for spinal injuries, pregnancy or poor cardiovascular health. Wear appropriate footwear and bring a water bottle or use park facilities. Public transport accessible nearby. Photos supplied free; you're welcome to bring your phone for extras.
