Trail Skills Tune Up

Trail Skills Tune Up: Welcome

Join us for a guided skills ride around the iconic Manly Dam trail. This ride is all about applying skills to the trail, sessioning fresh challenges, and building confidence.

​

Some weeks we'll focus on completing a whole lap of the Dam with the emphasis on speed, pedalling and cornering technique, and other weeks we'll take time to master a specific section of the trail. 

​

Session Dates:

​This is a regular session that will be held on the third Sunday of every month, running from 8.00-10.00am. Note that the sessions are booked individually, there is no obligation to attend them all! Dates below:

 

Location:

Manly Dam & surrounds, Sydney, NSW
