Hey Rob what's the go with this type of thing? My SO has expressed some interest in getting into mountain biking but I think it would be good if she could go with some other girls when she's just getting started. I'm a bit afriad that I'm not going to be able to remember what it's like to ride for the first time on dirt and don't want to put her off. Would be good for her to meet some other girls too. Could you send me a link for some info that I can pass on to her. Cheers.

My GF did the beginner one yesterday with Rob & loved it. Couldn't shut her up in the car most of the way home. She has a greater understanding of MTB riding & the basic skills & a greater level of confidence. A couple of contact numbers for future rides. When we got home she jumped on her bike & started practising some of the things Rob taught her 2thumbsup Great news for me also. She wants to get out there more now 2thumbsup2thumbsuphttp://www.roadierobsbicycleschool.com/

Thanks for the info looks just the ticket for my girlfriend when she gets her own bike cause she would probably listen to someone else more than me. You know how it is. bigLa

Glad everyone had a good time. thumbsup4 I've had lots of positive emails as well. The bike school is all about getting bums on bikes and smiles on faces, sounds like I've put some smiles on faces of partners outside of the School as well, so it's a win all round. getdownNext session is on October 29th or individual bookings can be made anytime just send me an email and I'll send out my free time for the month info@roadierobsbicycleschool.com thumbsup4

Yet another good rap for Rob.My girly stacked it big around April last year, then when she got back on the bike about 6 months later the confidence was completely gone, even hopping over small logs was a huge effort, and she got frustrated really quickly. One group session with Rob and the Adventure Women turned into quite a few one on one's, and now she's ridin like a demon, prepping hard core for the 6 hour as her first ever race. Judging by the way she attacks on climbs, a few of the lads had better look out because my girl has an amazing snap of power!! And, she's now riding so much that we've planned a 3 week Tour de Tassie around xmas / new years to calm the legs.Big ups Rob, the work you do is pure gold! 2thumbsup Thoroughly recomend your clinics to anyone, no matter the gender or skill level. On Jane's advice, I'll be booking in with you soon too...Karlos

I too was lucky enough to attend last Sunday's session with Rob. I've ridden the Gap Creek circuit 6-7 times with my boyfriend but needed to learn some technique so that i would ride with more confidence and ability (& not slow the b'friend down!). Rob not only covered off some of the skill stuff but also bike setup which was handy. The next day i went riding with my b'friend and he commented on how much my skill and confidence had increased.So a big THANK YOU to you Rob, I will no doubt be looking at attending another session sometime in the future to build on my skill level. mtbdirt

Well another fun day in the bush with the girls. We were lucky enough to stay dry all day till the last group of the arvo, but that didn't dampen the spirts at all. Thanks for a great Day. getdowngetdowngetdowngetdowngetdowngetdownImageImageImageImage

Thanks Rob! I learned a lot yesterday and I too had to do a bit of bike cleaning, although my partner did the detailing. You should have seen my "attack position" today at Daisy Hill! 2thumbsup
