Training rides & Camps

first Ascent MTB Training Rides and Camps presented by Daisyway Coaching Systems

The training ride concept is probably the most effective way to learn about riding your bike
Groups will be limited
Depending on the size of a group there will be a maximum of 10 riders per “coach”
Groups will then be able to ride along the same course but have access to a “coach” throughout the ride in order to be shown the correct pedaling motion, technical ability to tackle certain obstacles and generally to benefit from training in a group
Safety is paramount to Daisyway Coaching Systems and all measures will be taken to ensure safety of riders who join us on training rides
Training rides will be offered to different ability levels (see schedule) and routes will be decided upon accordingly

Daisyway Bootcamps are usually more than one day, ie. over a weekend (Saturday and Sunday) and sometimes even the Friday afternoon prior
Riding distances will range from 60 km per day to 100 km per day depending on format of training camp and will cater for the different levels of ability (see schedule for details)
It’s a group ride for a specific number of riders (between 20-30) depending on the format of the training camp
Groups will be limited
We will have a back-up vehicle that meets at points for nutrition and hydration refills
There is limited mechanical assistance which will be arranged separately for each training camp
These training camps will put you through the paces of a multi-day event such as Sani2C, Oudtshoorn 6-day or ABSA Cape Epic so you can get an idea of training requirements and where you can learn about all the tactics necessary to tackle a multi-day stage race
These camps, where applicable, will have different levels (see below) to cater for different ability levels

Daisyway Skills Training will be a 3-4 hour session where we will tackle each of the topics in the different ability levels
Different ability levels will be catered for
Groups will be limited
This is a perfect learning ground for targeting very specific needs
The skills training is not limited to specific topics
It is the perfect opportunity to ask questions or to ask one of the coaches to teach you something new

GENERAL:

Details of each training ride/skills session will be posted on the website 1 ½ weeks prior to the event
If you have any questions or suggestions in order for us to cater for specific camps or sessions, we’d love to hear from you info@daisyway.co.za
