Sherwood Pines Forest Park, near Mansfield, Notts, is hosting a special workshop on Sunday 22 March to encourage more females of all ages to take up mountain biking and develop their skills.
 
Off-roading may seem like a male dominated pursuit, but the tide is slowly turning with more women taking part at all levels. Sharing her knowledge will be Kate Potter and her partner Ian.
 
Kate said: “We will pitch the day at all levels of ability so even if you are a complete novice you can come along and get some basic coaching and build confidence.  There’ll also be tips on improving skills and simple bike mechanics as well as more advanced stuff for riders of greater experience.” 
 
Chris Bray, Forestry Commission Recreation Manager, added: “New bike routes are set to open in Sherwood Pines as part of a £300,000 investment so there couldn’t be a better time to get into the sport and brush up on technique.”  
 
Partners and friends are welcome to take part.  For more information and a booking form contact kate@aquickrelease.com  The cost is £35 per person or £50 per couple.

I have been a writer for nigh on 20 years, a photographer for 25 years and a mountain biker for 30 years. I have written countless magazine and website features and route guides for the UK mountain bike press, most notably for the esteemed and highly regarded Singletrackworld. Although I am a Lancastrian, I freely admit that West Yorkshire is my favourite place to ride. Rarely a week goes by without me riding and exploring the South Pennines.

    I assume that it is known this is taking place at the same place & same day as an Horse Event, with around 100 horses in the forest?
