This year HCLM has been participating in the NSW Schools Mountain Bike Competitions and we are continuing to offer after school mountain bike coaching to Primary school students! However, this will be moving to AWABA MTB PARK in term 2.
Please Note: One Ticket will need to be purchased for each student who will be attending.
The coach will be Sarah from "Momentum is your Friend", who is a qualified coach certified by both the MTBA and the PMBI (the leading global professional mountain bike skills instructors).
Sessions will be held at Awaba MTB Park - Students will be transported to Awaba with their bike by school bus and will be required to be collected by parents from Awaba at 4:30pm:
- Thursdays, starting 2nd May 2024
There will be 9 sessions in Term 2 for Primary students at a cost of $90 for the term (there will be no refund for missed lessons).
Students will be required to bring each week:
- Bike in good working order (bike must be suitable for cross country riding and fitted with mountain bike tyres. Touring or semi-slick tyres are not suitable.)
- Helmet (compulsory of course)
- Afternoon tea & Water
- MTB Gloves (recommended but not compulsory)
- Change of Clothes suitable for riding a bike (does not need to be school sports uniform as you will need to wear it to school the next day).
