Even mountain bike skills instructors get holidays. Chris Ball of Dirt School sent us details of their summer road trip…
Hitting the Trail: Dirt School Road Trip 2012
“We’re taking Dirt School on a summer holiday this August. Stopping at the Forest of Dean on the road south to Peaslake and then Lee Quarry on the way home, we’ll be on hand delivering our classic Trail High School and Freeride School classes. Using our tried and tested methods, we’ll give you access to the theories that we’ve developed over the last five years with hundreds of riders and world-class competitors.
Taking a little twist on the basics, we’ll help show you how to really get the most out of your bike and your time on it. That means you’ll not only get help cornering, jumping and riding a host of different trail features, but you’ll also get an insight into how you should think about the trail ahead and simple techniques to boost your confidence and speed. As we design our classes from a rider’s perspective expect various levels of trail difficulty – all aiming to mimic what you’ll come across on your favourite ride, wherever that is.
Our Peaslake days will be extra special, including demo bikes and support from Santa Cruz Bikes and bike set up advice from Pedal and Spoke.”
Dates:
August 23rd – Forest of Dean
August 25th and 26th – Peaslake
August 28th – Lee Quarry

£100 for the day, I hope it’s good
You have to go into the normal courses section and they have them listed. Been tempted by a Dirt School course for ages so me and the good lady are booked on the Freeride course at Peaslake. At £125 its no more expensive than the Dirt Divas courses the missus has done in the past and I’ve only heard good things about the guys at Dirt School so cant wait!
