SMBLA training

Overview

Come on the trail-flow trip to do your TCL or MBL training, whilst in the Alps!

2007 was the first time that a SMBLA training course ran in the Alps. We were lucky enough to get Jules Fincham of Cycle Wild Scotland out here to run this course with us! And even more excited that he'll be back again in 2009. The SMBLA training is THE mountain bike leader scheme to do - what you learn will be invaluable in helping your riding and if you want to help others to enjoy the sport as much as you do - be they friends or as a job.

This year the course will be split to run both TCL and MBL training courses. So opt for TCL if you're new to the scheme, or MBL if you want to get onto the next level.
