TORCA NOW OFFERS COACHING!

Our local coaches each have over 10 years MTB experience, and are certified Professional Mountain Bike Instructor Association (PMBIA) Level 1 coaches. 
What do you get?
Trail-based coaching sessions that focus on specific ride techniques and maneuvers for fundamental skills progression. Various programming may include:
  • Body position and movement on the bike
  • Bike operation - braking and gearing
  • Terrain awareness and line choice
Whether you're a new or experienced rider, you'll pick up new skills or add new techniques to your tool kit for better overall performance on the bike.

At this time, our instructors are certified to teach Beginner and Intermediate level riders on Green and Blue trails. 

All proceeds from TORCA coaching sessions and programs go into improving and maintaining our local trail network!

What is a Beginner rider?
You are new to mountain biking or most comfortable riding on smoother trails.  Green trails are your friend and you may be starting to try out some blue trails.  Come join us if you would like to gain the skills and confidence to progress beyond gravel paths and Hey Bear laps!  

What is an Intermediate rider?
You have experience mountain biking, are comfortable on green trails and are working on getting better at blue trails.  You are comfortable with small obstacles and would like to progress on trails you find challenging.  Take a course with us to help you overcome your hang ups and get you floating over those Terrace roots and rocks!
