About CTC Off Road Training Level 2

LEVEL TWO - Intermediate off road skills is developing existing skills, learning new ones and tackle slightly more challenging terrain plus again, map reading skills and weather preparation 

All sessions will include the 'M test Bike Check', braking skills, pedalling, gear changes and body positioning, the latter being very important, mainly because the gradients are more extreme bearing in mind that the basic principal of the body changes the weight distribution and therefore the pivot point of the ensemble changes.

 Core Skills for Level 2 include:-

Position on bike
Body position; climbing and descending
Slow speed balancing
Slippery conditions
Single track climbing
Bomb hole
Lofting the front wheel
Single track types
Clothing
Bike fitting
Simple repairs
Basic map reading

         

NB. For Individual 1:1 Tuition the methods used are tailor made to your individual needs although the same principles will apply vs. activities for a group to achieve the same objectives. Also we take as much or as little time as any one individual needs., there are no maximums as everyone is different.
