I have just started a new luxury cycling company here in Mallorca.
We employ fully trained experienced professional guides - I will not be doing much of the guiding, but need to be first aid trained.
I completed a first aid certificated many years ago - however I am very keen to be trained again and if possible on a cycling orientated first aid course
Does anyone have any ideas for UK based courses that will be a bit more cycling accident orientated?

    In the first instance I'd probably be talking to the CTC or British Cycling. St John's Ambulance can probably help too. I remember my climbing centre was offering an outdoor specific first aid course, so that might be another avenue to pursue. The key thing is the outdoor element to it - doesn't really need to be MTB specific - outdoor injuries tend to involve trauma and fractures, with the added complications of adverse weather and difficult extraction with ambulances etc. some way off.

    Hope that helps.

    Highly recommended. I know a number of folk who use these guys for training, as well as being trained by them.
    How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.
