What is Ride Ourimbah- Skills Development

The 4-week program is designed to provide riders with the opportunity to learn improve skills required for not only racing but everyday riding in a safe car free environment. This may be in on your own or in a group. These sessions will involve working through an evolving set of skills with qualified coaches to make you feel more confident when out riding. The sessions will be 1.5 – 2hrs in length and involve doing skill development and then putting them into practice around the UON Ourimbah Campus on closed roads. The skills will include cornering, riding in a group, point out an obstacle, taking a drink and other relevant skills. Come and join us for a great way to learn new skills and meet other riders.
