Rip up a bike park & ride down a volcano

Terrain – On mellow trails and at a steady pace, you feel comfortable tackling singletrack that may include tight trees, muddy sections, loose rocks, and sand.

Obstacles – You can confidently roll over small features (a few inches high) such as roots, rocks, and minor drops, but you generally keep both wheels on the ground.

Bike Parks – If you’ve been to a bike park, you handle Green and Blue trails with ease and are willing to try Red trails. You roll obstacles smoothly but still prefer to keep both wheels on the ground.

Bike Skills – You’re confident applying these fundamental bike handling techniques on a variety of singletrack:

• Shifting – You look ahead and shift in response to the terrain.
• Descending – You descend confidently in a standing position, holding the pedals level and maintaining balance.
• Speed Control and Braking – You use momentum to climb rolling terrain and are comfortable using both your front and back brakes when required.

You can comfortably ride multiple days consecutively at a moderate pace, averaging 4 hours of pedalling daily. On multi-day trips, you could handle one or two longer days.

You’re confident climbing up to 500 vertical metres per day.

You average about 4 hours of exercise per week.
