– Level 2: Bike set-up, tyre pressures, rider position, cone riding, body position, off-camber riding and steering, stopping and pulling away against an incline, uphill & downhill riding, sharp turns. High speed braking on gravel, going around obstacles. Bike recovery and if the group’s progress is quick enough and everybody seems competent then we will do a technical ride up a 4×4 track, gymkhana, sand and trail riding.
