You can bring an apron if you prefer, and disposable gloves will be provided. Flowers and leaves will be available but you’re more than welcome to bring along your own items.

You must wear a helmet at all times during the coaching session. Cost shouldn't be a barrier. We’re asking just £15 for this 2-hour coaching session – an incredible value – but we understand that even this can be a stretch sometimes. If money’s a barrier, please don’t hesitate to get in touch – we’re here to help, no questions asked. If you can afford the £15, know that your contribution goes right back into our community – supporting future events, courses for young and old, and helping others who might be struggling to access opportunities like this one. Let’s lift each other up, on and off the trails. Information Source: Drosi Bikes CIC | eventbrite
