Term 2 Dusk/Night Riding
10-17yr old co-ed
The days are getting shorter, but luckily we have night riding! This 4 week co-ed programme for 10-17 year olds takes us all around Wānaka! Riding trails in the dark is an amazing experiance and sweet adventure! To really enjoy these rides, kids need to be at or above an intermediate skill and fitness level. We're calling it 'dusk/night riding' as during early May we'll still be able to ride without lights until 5.30/6pm, however as the nights progress we will need to switch our lights on earlier and earlier!

10-12yr old Sunday Sessions!
Intermediate/Advanced co-ed - Jump and drops focus
Sunday mornings are about to get a whole lot more sweet! We know that it can be a bit tricky for some families to get to WORD after school, so we are stoked to be bringing back the WORD Sunday Sessions! These are just like our normal programmes, but with a twist.... Two Sunday Sessions (3 hours each, 10am-1pm), we will be riding in one group so it important to check the ability level advertised so everyone gets to have an amazing ride! Rob will be the WORD Instructor for this group with a max group size of 8 participants. This session is aimed at Intermediate and Advanced riders who are wanting to progress their jumping, drops and tech riding.
Cost? $120/programme (2 sessions, 3 hours each session) + $20 for riders who don’t have a Bike Glendhu season pass
