Saturday Jnr Development Team – With Road Trips – Term 3, 2025

Description

Saturday – Upper Intermediate Riders | Ages 10+

All of Bike On’s mountain bike coaching programs are about having fun in a low-pressure, supportive, and inclusive environment. We aim to develop a lifelong passion for the joy and excitement of mountain biking by encouraging kids to ride with mates, have fun, and progressively build their skills — all under the guidance of PMBIA-qualified coaches.

This Saturday Development Team program is ideal for confident intermediate to advanced riders who want to refine their skills in more technical terrain. Sessions are led by multiple qualified coaches and include full-day “road trips” each term to top SEQ MTB destinations (with transport provided).
