People learn differently, and some take longer than others however, generally this session will last roughly 3 hours.
If possible please bring your own bike and helmet, however, if needed please let us know when booking so we can arrange for you to borrow one. Please arrive 10 minutes before the session to pick these up.
Please also bring water for drinking, snacks if required and wear suitable clothing/footwear.
