Level One – Women Only

Although this course covers all of the lessons in a mixed Level One course, this group is just for women. So it you prefer to learn in an all-female atmosphere, join in on one of these special events.
The Level One course aims to give you your first step into the world of off-road riding, there is no need for any prior experience. It teaches all the skills you will need to ride off-road and is also suitable for those who have already had some experience.

Level Two

The new Level Two course has been streamlined to provide a better follow-on than our previous Level Two – a response to customer comments that the step-up was too abrupt, requiring too much emphasis on revision.  We aim to be straight into riding off-road, where you left off with Level One, so make sure you’ve been practicing those basic skills and especially your clutch control.  Whilst the emphasis is not too technical or demanding, this course will certainly give you new skills to challenge you, with plenty of riding time.  By the end of day two you will know if you are ready for Level 3.
