SPECIAL NEW YEAR OFFER – IMPROVE YOUR MOUNTAIN BIKING
IF YOU STAY AT GLARAMARA DURING THE WEEKEND OF 15th to 17th JANUARY 2010 WE WILL PROVIDE ALL YOUR MEALS AND A MOUNTAIN BIKING IMPROVEMENT COURSE FOR THE GREAT PRICE OF £115.00
Cumbria is one of the leading mountain biking destinations in Britain. The area around Keswick, including Whinlatter and Borrowdale, offers miles of scenic off-road all weather trails, from steep mountain challenges to less arduous introductory rides.
A weekend with Glaramara is not just a “follow the leader” style event. We want you to pick up new skills and tips, develop and hone existing techniques and do so during amazing ride outs in fantastic surroundings. We are here to offer you great riding to whatever standard you ride at, so don’t panic… you will never be out of your depth on one of our rides.

Is an improvement course for me?
If you are a regular rider who wants to get better then we think this weekend will suit you. You will receive expert coaching in more advanced techniques. The rides will take in some of the area’s classic descents and trails with a view to integrating new skills into your repertoire. We will look, in particular, at:
- Core skills
- Repairs on the move
- Navigation
The weekend includes:
- 2 nights full board accommodation
- Two full days of tuition by a qualified and experienced instructor.
- Transport between the Glaramara Outdoor Centre and the activity sites (where required)
