Looking to do a Intermediate level skills course within reasonable travelling distance from Consett, Co.Durgham. Anybody got any recommendations, or any companies on here got available dates between July 15th and August 13.

Cheers.

meet me down the old lines near chester there’s a wood called cong woods, we could at least ride together, might learn something each?

Sounds like a plan, espcially if you want to perfect your dismounting technique. I’ll give you a heads up, when I’m back home.

great but do you mean that you’ll teach me how to fall off? haha!

where are you now? I ride a P5 as of next weekend by the way. All bikes are chos though!

I’m in Bilbao, need to get better at riding down steep stuff.

Great Rock might do something if there’s enough numbers. Those dates might be too short though but you never know.

Try Stu at http://www.dalesbikecentre.co.uk/ dunno what he’s like as an instuctor but you couldn’t learn in a better classroom!

@makem: can at least show you some great steep stuff mate, sessioning it is the way forwards, I took 15 seconds off a 1:16 in Cong woods the other week.

Hope you find what you’re REALLY looking for too, meet you soon.

You can see the skills courses that I’ve got during that time on my site. There’s Alpine Prep and Stop Crashing Level 2, by the looks of it. Cheers Ed.

CyclewiseBit further out but worth the drive over to Cumbria

Where is Cong Woods exactly.

Chester is on my way home from work, and I could do with something closer to pootle about

I’m guessing it’s the woods just north of Waldrigde, WSW of C-le-St towards Edmondsley.

May have to go for a rummage myself….

Mark, I can definitely recommend Ed. I reckon you’d get a lot out of it. Do you know he’s over here next week too?

Yes, near Waldridge. Basically take the track down the side of the closed pub in Waldridge and enjoy! One of those Bridleways after 6p.m. trails though.
