A Hard-tail Mountain bike and an approved Helmet will be issued to each participant.
One of our MIAS instructors will take the group through a Health and Safety brief and develop this into an outline of personal skills needed during the days riding. We leave the car-park and join an easy family trail where riders can put into practice what the Instructor has told them. During a gentle ride along the trail we will employ various games to encourage rider confidence.
Interesting features of Cannock Chase will be pointed out to the group during the ride. Themed rides can be accommodated., navigational skills taught.
The activity can be for a whole day or part of a day to meet the groups needs.
All rides are on Cannock Chase bridleways and tracks and can be designed to meet different levels of fitness, mixed ability groups will keep on the easier routes.
All trails used will be risk assessed, health and safety policies are in place and also third party insurance.
What will your ride be like on Cannock Chase?
Cannock Chase is An Area Of Outstanding natural Beauty used by many different people who enjoy the outdoors. Walkers, Horse riders, Youth Groups and those looking for peace and quiet. Mountain Bike Adventures respect the fragility of The Chase and organise events that fit in with the nature of the area. Rides are all on legal rights of way, are taken at a pace suitable for the trail and the surroundings. Wildlife is also abundant with many types of bird, deer, badgers, fox, snakes, insects and plants so some areas the ride passes through are leisurely for observation and enjoyment of the surroundings, others for the adrenalin rush.
Cannock Chase offers rides for all tastes which is why Mountain Bike Adventures guides plan your route so that there is the opportunity for all your young people to enjoy the day.
