Wāhine Weekend

Middle Hill MTB, Southern MTB Coaching and Dunluce Farmstay have partnered together to provide the ultimate riding weekend away for the girls! This is a fantastic opportunity to explore Middle Hill in a supportive, encouraging all female environment. Get to know some of the trails and improve your riding skills. Beautiful seaside accommodation is available, making for an epic weekend away sharing the stoke with fellow wāhine! While we encourage you to join the group in staying at Dunluce, there is also the option to sort out your own accomodation and dinner if you prefer (or live locally!).

The weekend kicks off with an introductory skills session at the bike park base. The coaches will check that your bike is set up correctly for you, and run you through a pre-ride bike check. From there, you'll be split in to small groups of similar ability levels and head out on to the trails for a shuttled coaching session. We'll wrap up the day with a crash course covering some of the essential bike mechanic skills for any aspiring mountain biker!

A delicious dinner featuring fresh local produce is provided on the Saturday night for those staying at Dunluce, BYO drinks!

On Sunday there will be more coaching, followed by a shuttle session where the whole group joins back up to ride together. 

We'll wrap up the weekend with a jump jam for those who are keen, and a wee prize giving.

This weekend is aimed at riders of all abilities. Whether you're new to mountain biking, looking to gain confidence on intermediate terrain or keen to  step up to some of the more technical trails Middle Hill has to offer, we've got coaches and trails suitable for you to have a great time and learn something new! 

This is a great opportunity to get away with the girls, tick off some riding goals in a supportive environment and soak up the relaxed coastal vibes in the evenings.
