GRANNY GEAR
Skill building, fitness and health are the main emphasis for our Middle Ring group. We strive to advance our campers into competent, responsible riders while getting awareness of what is healthy for their bodies. A typical session starts with 30 minutes of skills on a flat and easy terrain followed by balance and pressure control work on the Kingdom Trails network. After a snack break we hit the single track and log some miles! Some sessions may end with a well deserved dunk in the Dishmill Brook.

Big Ring will take the Middle Ring program up several notches and enhance the experience of those young athletes who love riding and want more of a challenge. This is a slightly advanced program from Middle Ring that will dive deeper into skills, ride more technical miles, over bigger features, and experience several shuttle rides as well. Other components will include: education in athlete nutrition, sport physiology, and sports psychology to help give them a better foundation to reach goals while getting acquainted with failure and its virtues.
To complete this module, we have added an extra 5 hours of programming into the week, which when combined, offers over 22 hours on the bike!
