Do you want to ride smoother, faster, safer, with more flow, control and confidence?

The Darwin Off Road Cyclists will be conducting a half day course aimed at improving your riding, making you safer, smoother and faster on the trails, increasing the fun!

The course will be run by qualified PMBIA and AusCycling instructors. During this session you will learn about body position on the bike, controlled braking, trail scanning and cornering techniques.

You will learn how to:

    • use your body position to get more from your bike

    • use your brakes more effectively and efficiently

    • scan the trail ahead, be prepared and get more flow

    • change direction and corner with more control, traction and confidence.

Riders of all levels are invited to attend this course.

Riders wishing to attend this course must be over 18 years of age and be a member of DORC. You do not need to be a member of AusCycling to attend this course.

The session will cost $50 per person for DORC members and $60 for nonmembers. (There is a $10 membership fee) All proceeds go to DORC as our instructors are volunteers.

Places are limited to 8 riders.

If you are unable to attend one of our scheduled group skills sessions then you may like to take the opportunity to get in on our private one on one lessons or book your own small group with some friends.
