Mountain Biking

This course aims to provide students with a variety of biking opportunities. 

The first trip will be to Bottle Lake Forest Park, where I hope we'll do some cross country mountain biking. Hopefully after that we can head even further afield. This can be discussed on the first trip and will be informed by how 'game' you are, and the skill level of the group. Numbers may limit or expand our transport options.

You will need a bike with gears and able to do cross country mountain biking. If you'd like to do a road ride or something else, I'd be game for that too - especially if there's a group of you. Parents wanting to partake are welcome. 

You'll need:

• a bike suitable to ride on cross country terrain.
• a helmet, and gloves would be good too
• weather appropriate clothing
• sunscreen, and sunglasses are also advised
• It would also be awesome if you could bring a spare inner-tube for their bike.
   

Trips that have happened beforfe are:

• Bottle Lake Forest Park - meet there and depart from there
• Crocodile Cross Country Mountain Bike park in Halswell Quarry - meet there and depart from there
• Ride from school up the city to beach cycleway and then to NAC BMX Track and the Nigel Mahon Pump track then back to school
• Funding dependent (therefore don't be disappointed if it doesn't happen) a day at Christchurch Adventure Park
• Ride from school up Montgomery Spur Reserve Loop and back.
