    Who is this organised by? Just you? There's nothing on the FC website, so they're not involved... (they are running Women on Wheels events though http://www.forestry.gov.uk/womenonwheels )

    The only info I can find is that little poster you've got there and the line on the facebook page that says payment by Paypal or bank transfer. Do you have a website?

    Seems expensive ... £70 without food and accommodation for something I can do free (well... ok there is the £2 car park charge) just by asking on this forum if anyone fancies going for a ride.

    Hi there,
    We have previously ran fitness orientated weekends and due to requests we are running a fun packed skills weekend this time.

    The event is based around tuition and confidence building .... the instructors are the same girls who are teaching at the women on wheels event! Awesome ladies!!

    There will be 2 whole days of guided riding and learning skills....such as, positioning, bunny hopping, coping with drop offs, climbing.....pretty much whatever the girls want to get help with each day.
    There will also be advice on mechanics, kit for women, nutrition, fitness and where they can go on from the weekend to further their riding.

    I went to a few of these type of weekends myself over the years and was so impressed with how much I learned, the cool girls I met and the skills I gained that I decided to organise another weekend.
    And contrary to you suggesting its expensive...the weekend is not for profit...meaning I make nothing out of it. And people who do not stay over are stlll welcome for the social drinks in the evening.
    These type of weekends are normally considerably more pricey.
    There will be a big emphasis on the social side of riding too as many girls find it difficult to find other girls to ride with.

    I'm afraid there is no website, only Facebook page....Dirty Bike - Womens MTB Wend.
    You can also email me with questions or for further info :oD

    It will be a good fun weekend in a nice friendly environment.

    Don't under-estimate the skills you can learn (or re-learn) with a bit of skills coaching.

    £70 for 2 two days is very good value.

    We run a similar weekend for beginners here in Devon, we keep the groups small so we can spend more time with people and more time riding. Two days riding/coaching including B&B. We also throw in a bit of basic trailside maintenance.....and we charge £150 for the weekend and we're pretty busy up until summer.

    They're a great way to spend a weekend so good luck with to Alphaanne!

    Right... but there was no mention of skills coaching in the wee advert, just 'hanging out' with other girls.

    Anne has added more info to the thread now though.
