The track will enable them to extend the range of mountain bike courses and experiences which they have been delivering in schools, for clubs, groups and as corporate days.

BikeRight established in 2000 have grown to become one of the UK’s largest cycle training providers training over 20,000 people per year. Liz Clarke BikeRight’s director commented on Twitter @BikerightUK “Looking forward to receiving our Pumptrack today and can’t wait until it’s in action”

BikeRight have purchased 50m of Shoretrax portable aluminium framed timber trail. The kit offers countless track layouts from flowing single track runs through to the popular portable pumptrack. It’s the versatility offered by the Shoretrax system that will enable BikeRight’s instructors to run a range of courses from taster sessions through to skills training for mountain bikers of all ages and abilities.

“Shoretrax is an ideal solution for an organisation like BikeRight, its light, compact easy to transport and store. Our latest track design is a great way of taking mountain biking to those that might not be able to get out to their local trails.” said Keith Evans of Shoretrax.

BikeRight will be running a programme of mountain bike courses and experiences throughout the summer for more information go to their website – www.bikeright.co.uk.

So far only a few minor falls off the bikes, no broken Saracen bikes (very sturdy), many youthful, happy faces among the kids and even happier teachers (we take over their PE lessons for a day).

We’ve discovered that the girls do better once they’ve got past the hair extensions/helmet problem – they listen to the coaches and progress faster and further than all the boys.  They also tend to beat the boys on the pump track when we hold races girls.v.boys at each session.  Boys don’t listen, they rush off, showing off and while they naturally posess the skills on bikes, they don’t tend to progress like the girls do in the sessions.
o
The OnePlanet Adventure Llandegla coaching team (6 of us at each event) are brilliant, Neil Donoghue is the media star, PJ keeps order,  Emma is great with the girls, Jim and Rees are cool dudes.
o
The Shoretrax track has done us proud and the team can erect and dismantle it in around 20 minutes (the record is 19mins)!

The MTB Skills App has seen nearly 30,000 downloads in its first month.  The videos on Youtube have had 75,000 views.
