Cycling UK have partnered up with MTB experts Campbell Coaching to bring a weekend of MTB Trail Maintenance courses to the North of England.
The courses are aimed at giving people the skills and knowledge to carry out maintenance work on their local trails to keep them in a good, rideable condition, as well as providing guidance on how to run safe and enjoyable volunteer workdays.
These courses don’t come up very often within the area so this is a bit of a rare opportunity. There are still a few spaces on both courses:
