Instruction

We offer instruction for all levels of ability (blocks of 3 hours) or 4/8 weeks programs (90 minutes). Whether you are a true neophyte who requires a bike rental or an advanced extreme cross-country rider who wishes to bring more grace and flow to his/her riding, we are here to help.

We start teaching as early as April since our south facing contour trails, designed and built following the guidelines offered in the IMBA Trail Solutions book, are nice and dry. You won't go home with a muddy drivetrain or the feeling of having damaged trails.

Mandatory: CSA certified cycling helmet, non-baggy shorts and t-shirts, running shoes and cycling gloves. Please make sure your bike is well tuned.

Registration on site. E-mail creativewheel@rogers.com to book your appointment with one of our instructor.
