We’ve just had this through from Lucy at Bike Verbier. September will see the third skills camp run by Bike Verbier in conjunction with Enduro World Series Champion Tracey Moseley exclusively for women. It’s a great opportunity to be instructed, gain skills and ride in one of our favourite alpine riding destinations…
Following its success in 2012 and 2013, Tracy Moseley and Bike Verbier announce a third women-specific skills camp.
In 2012 and 2013 Tracy Moseley joined forces with Verbier’s original mountain bike holiday company to offer an intensive girls’ training camp. These weeks were a huge success and will be repeated in 2014 allowing female mountain bikers a rare chance to improve their all-mountain riding techniques with one of the sport’s true all-rounders and current Enduro World Champion, using Verbier’s legendary singletrack and idyllic alpine setting as their training ground.
Tracy will provide personal instruction on everything from downhill and technical riding through to cycling fitness, general bike handling and all-mountain riding skills. Assessment at the start of the week will ensure that training is progressive, pressure-free and carefully tailored to the skills and ambitions of those taking part.
Participants from the past weeks best describe the experience.
“The TMo Coaching/ Bike Verbier women’s week was an absolutely amazing experience! If you want to ride your bike with more confidence and speed, then there really is no one better than Tracy Moseley to show you how. Couple that with Bike Verbier’s Lucy & Phil providing their legendary hospitality and guiding and you’ve got a week that you’re not going to forget in a hurry. I loved every minute of it.” Ruth
“I particularly liked how they stripped us back to basics and reconstructed our riding positions. Making us think about exactly what we were doing, how that affected our ability to attack sections of trail and then working out how to readjust and practicing that daily.” Tina
“Tracy is so inspirational, such a lovely person with the most amazing bike skills! It was great to have the basics skills sessions…improving these had a huge impact on confidence levels and riding ability. Tracy challenged us to ride out of our comfort zone without knocking our confidence. It was a great balance between skills sessions and amazing trails. I am SO glad that I came.” Liz
“Tracy was very helpful in looking at our bike set up and going back to basics helped me understand how to ride and not just be a passenger. I really can’t fault anything! The accommodation, food, location, trails, uplift service and guiding were all perfect. I felt completely spoilt and it was one of the best weeks of my life”. Kath
