Fly Up Bike Park's 100 acre setting on Crickley Hill just outside Gloucester claims to be the biggest privately owned mountain bike facility in England offering a variety of riding disciplines within one venue. During termtime it offers a weekend club (Saturday or Sunday) in five week blocks of lessons, catering for all abilities and run by fully qualified coaches who help to develop a child's riding while teaching new skills, building confidence and promising lots of fun. To join the club, book a session with one of the coaches who assess what group your child should join.
Fly Up's manager Dave Webb explains the many benefits of joining: "It's really good for building confidence, physical strength, mental agility and, of course, the fun process of reaching a goal." Its indoor tarmac pump track allows riders to practice body position, cornering, and a pumping technique to generate speed, where they can also learn jumps and drops.
