About Get Mountain Biking
Get Mountain Biking was started at the beginning of 2007 by Helen, originally based around Northamptonshire the business soon expanded to include other mountain biking locations.In 2008 Maintenance Courses and Guided Rides were offered to compliment the Skills Courses and in 2009 the further skills Course were designed.
Each year new courses and events are added to the business, for 2011 so far the Yorkshire riding weekend break has been added as well as expanding maintenance courses to include a more technical day for those who already have the underpinning knowledge, with more planned why not come on a course with one of the largest mountain bike businesses in the UK.
