INSTRUCTION

We know there are a multitude of other mountain bike tour companies that you could choose from, but we feel that we are unique because we don’t just guide you; we actively teach you using expert instructors and small, tailored groups. In order to really make the most of mountain biking, it’s essential to know the correct skills and techniques. This will enable you to get off the beaten track to enjoy the most spectacular scenery and the most exhilarating riding. Biking through a breathtaking countryside like western Mexico is enjoyable in itself, but you’ll find the experience that much more satisfying if you also improve your biking performance and learn new skills during your travels.

OUR MEXICAN HIGHLANDS MOUNTAIN BIKE INSTRUCTION PROGRAM

Beginners
This trip is not recommended for those who have never tried mountain biking. If you have some single-track experience and a decent level of fitness, however, you should enjoy this trip. If you have questions about your ability level, please e-mail us at info@AccessTrips.com.

Intermediates
This trip is suitable for intermediate riders with a good level of fitness. There are some challenging uphills, although we can shuttle several of these if necessary. During the weeklong tour of Mexico, we’ll teach you every aspect of riding downhill and cross-country trails. Our expert instructors will work with you to improve your individual riding technique and correct bad habits you may have developed so that you can optimize your riding performance. Our instructors will also encourage you to push your performance in challenging yourself and developing your nerves. They’ll provide you with advice and encouragement, as well as help you with such skills as climbing, descending, cornering, balance, weight distribution, fluidity, bike control in varying conditions, drop offs, basic front and back wheel lifts, switchbacks, and emergency stopping techniques. You will also familiarize yourself with bike mechanics, maintenance, and repair.

Advanced
Our advanced coaching program will expand upon the fundamentals outlined in our intermediate program, including high performance bike handling, cornering techniques, and climbing and descending skills. Our expert instructors will encourage you to ride more challenging terrain and to work on tricks and natural jumps. They will provide you with valuable mountain bike tips to ensure that you can maximize your riding performance. If necessary, they will also work to refresh your memory of maintenance and repair.
