Hi, I'd really like to do a course covering MTB skills for beginners. I commute 5 miles to work a few times a week so I have a reasonable level of fitness. Can anyone recommend a course? I'm in Somerset, but would be prepared to travel for a weekend course. Many thanks
I had really good fun and learnt a lot on a CTC weeekend MTB course. They also do courses in the New Forest.

If you're prepared to travel Plas Y brenin outdoor centre in Snowdonia do various courses and you get to ride some fantastic terrain at the same time!! http://www.pyb.co.uk/courses/mountain-biking.php

I'd say come out with us one day, but we are all inept, slow, poorly balanced and extremely crash prone. In fact, you can come out with us if you are an A&E doctor/nurse, otherwise I really wouldn't bother Have you tried the YHA? They do this sort of thing, with accomodation and 10 instant mates thrown in.

Thanks for the tips. I am looking to do something in the new year. Maggot, unfortunately I'm not a Doc or a nurse. I have a first aid kit and a mobile phone though! I too am inept, poorly balanced and slow. I might be able to fit in...
I pulled this link off www.shecycles.com: http://www.getmountainbiking.co.uk/courses.htm - Northampton. and there are also courses in Sussex. Didn't see anything about the SW though.
