Programs for Schools
Adelaide has the most accessible trail network in the world and we design school mountain biking programs to help students take full advantage of it. Our Mountain Bike Australia qualified coaches and instructors can deliver a single session mountain bike incursion right through to a progressive skills development program on the trails.
Outdoor Ed MTB Camps are a great opportunity for skills development
