Mountain bikes can take us places other bikes can’t – trails through bluebell woods, along skyline ridges, on paths that wind through beautiful remote valleys, away from traffic, immersed in wild nature. With a little investment in basic skills and techniques, these worlds can be opened up for you, too. At Element, this is what our Beginning Mountain Biking Weekend for Women is all about.
