Mountain Biking Frequently Asked Questions (Group Lessons)

  • An awesome, super fun time with passionate mountain bikers who want to share the love of the sport with you.

  • Sessions typically take place at the Brookvale Nordic Centre unless otherwise stated. Please note this is approximately 1km west of the alpine ski hill. If you see a chair lift you’re in the wrong place!

  • • A well-tuned mountain bike. Please swing by a bike shop if you are unsure and have a mechanic take a look just to make sure everything is tuned and running smoothly

    • A pair of flat pedals. They will make it easier to learn and practice during the skills sessions as we will be mounting and dismounting the bike often

    • Closed-toe shoes

    • No loose pants or long jackets as they could get stuck in the drive train or back wheel

    • Check the weather prior to your lesson and pack accordingly

    • Helmet (mandatory)

    • Cycling Gloves (not mandatory

    • Padded cycling shorts (not mandatory)

    • Hydration Pack (or water bottles)

    • Snacks (energy bars / gels / chews)

    • Sunscreen & Bug Spray (we do keep both in our bags if needed)

  • We understand people are busy and can’t make all the scheduled sessions. If you have to miss one of the four sessions let us know at least 24 hours in advance and we can typically make arrangements to get you caught up. We review the previous session skills before starting anything new and the progression is slow so we’ll ensure you are prepared before learning any new skills.

  • Please cancel at least 7 days in advance by email, phone, text or through social media for a 50% refund or to reschedule at no charge.

    Cancellations less than 7 days prior to the session and no-shows will be charged full price.

  • If we feel that the weather forecasted during your session will result in unsafe riding conditions, we will be in touch to reschedule via email.

    Forecasts on PEI are unpredictable and the team will do their best to decide whether or not it is safe to proceed based on various weather sites.

    Coaches reserve the right to cancel up to 3 hours before the session for your safety or stop a session due to unfit conditions.

  • Online ride waivers must be signed before any session. You’ll receive the waiver upon booking a session.
