My two sons had an amazing time with Pete. They both loved been shown new trails and learning better techniques.
They have both gained so much confidence from this! Great day out at Glentress and good value for money.
Boys can’t wait to come back.

We had a fantastic experience with Calum at Glentress. He took three 12-year-old boys mountain biking for two hours and was absolutely brilliant with them.

He struck the perfect balance between keeping them safe, teaching them new skills, and making sure they had a fantastic time. The boys learned a lot, gained confidence, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Calum was friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and great at keeping the boys engaged throughout. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun, well-organised and enjoyable mountain biking experience at Glentress. We’ll definitely be back!

My 11 year old son and I had two brilliant sessions with Pete. His encouragement and clear instructions really built our confidence and skills we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we're able to venture out alone in the afternoons armed with what we had learnt. We both hope to be back soon!

Brilliant brilliant brilliant!

First class, can not recommend highly enough. Late decision to go to Glentress for the first time, not really sure what to expect- put a call in to Pete who was very friendly and knowledgeable, and gave us flexibility with our session time. Arrived the next day, equally as friendly and great with my 13 year old. Felt confident leaving my boy in his care- did a thorough bike check first and was keen to stress that he wouldn't be pushed beyond his abilities. On the latter, don't interpret this as it being a sanitised experience- the boy loved it, did loads of jumps and trails and felt he was pushed to his limits but in a controlled manner.

Finally, Pete also shared some pics and clips with us, and his communication was first class, all for a reasonable price.

We'll be back!

Pete was brilliant. Our 9-year-old had a two-hour private lesson and absolutely loved it. He finished with the biggest smile on his face, covered from head to toe in mud—which probably says everything about how much fun he had! Pete was patient, encouraging and gave him loads of confidence. My son rated it 10/10 and insisted on booking another lesson for the very next day. Highly recommended.

I suffered a horrific bike accident last May and only got back on the bike in April this year. I was extremely nervous on the bike, to the point where I felt I was riding dangerously. I decided to book in with Pete for some lessons, and his coaching was absolutely fantastic!

He got me set up correctly on the bike, the dropper at the correct height, one-finger braking, and the correct riding position at all times.

After two hours in the skills area, he took me out onto the trails, showing me the correct lines and discussing how to navigate static obstacles such as trees, roots and jumps and the rest!

I thoroughly enjoyed being out on the trails with Pete. He’s an excellent coach and took videos so I could properly review what I was doing. I’ll definitely be booking in with him again in the future. He was an absolute joy to work with!

Pete met us at the campsite, and gave us a 15-minute overview of bike checks and basic riding checks. We then went onto the trails and built up from basics onto more adventurous sections. He was a brilliant coach and helped our children of mixed abilities to build their confidence and get the most from the session.
His knowledge of the trails and off-road coaching was perfect for our family, and we have booked him again later in the week. Highly recommended.
