Event Series: PCC Trail Collective (Kids Club)

PCC Trail Collective (Kids Club)

27th September 2025 @ 9:45 am - 12:00 pm

Currently, our rides are every Saturday morning during school term.

Start time: 945am

Finish time: 12 noon

Meeting point location: Covered area beside toilets approx 50m up the tarmac road from the bike shop at Glentress Visitor Centre (Glentress Mountain Bike Centre).

As the parent / guardian, you MUST drop off / pick up your child(ren) from the meeting point.

The PCC MTB Kids Club is run by volunteer, fully qualified mountain bike leaders who have valid first aid and PVG certification.  The purpose of the club is to give the young riders the opportunity to develop their off-road mountain bike skills in a safe, fun and inclusive environment.  We try to run weekly during school term times (subject to leader availability and the weather).

If this is your first attendance, can you please FULLY complete the Rider Information form PCC_MTB_Rider_Info__Consent_Form  and send it to  johnhodgson08@gmail.com  by NO LATER than the first session. Please double check you have provided a mobile number on which you (the parent / guardian) can be contacted during the session.  Completing this form is very important and will also enable the leaders to identify the number of children expected to attend the introductory session and ensure we have sufficient leaders. Mr Gilfillan (a teacher at your child’s school) is one of the qualified leaders and hope to be present for this initial session.
