The course starts at 10.00 with a meeting and a review of the day’s schedule. After the meeting, we cycle out into the forest to practice the technical elements of the course. Back for lunch at 12.15 when we eat vegetarian and locally produced food from Kafé Källtorp. At 13.00, we’ll cycle out into the woods and apply our new skills in different places in the deep forests of Hellas! We are back at the mountain bike school at 15.00 to summarize the day over a coffee.
Make new cycling friends: During the course you will get to know other students. We arrange for everyone who wants to sign up to a ‘buddy list’. There are usually groups on Facebook or WhatsApp so that you can stay in touch with your group and meet up for mountain biking even after the course.
What to bring to the course: Bike helmet (included if you rent a bike from us). T-shirt, sweater or windbreaker, short or long trousers. Gym, street or walking shoes. Water bottle for bike, alt. backpack with a water bottle. Gloves can be useful.

We have everything we need to fix punctures and other potential problems on your bike during the course.
