3 years ago did a Jedi day. It was great. Off to the alps end June and really felt I needed to try and find a more consistant way of riding adequately briskly than ‘hanging on and hoping’. Three of us signed up for a alpine-prep day with Ed @ Great-Rock. It was a fab day, learned a lot, crashed a bit, came away with much to practice.

Did a proper write up here, but the summary is if you want to go and learn some useful, repeatable skills on some fantastic trails, Ed very much recommended. We’ll be back for the ‘jumps for dads’ day.
