Coaching sessions
Coaching with katy curd
Forest of Dean cycle centre
With 10+ years of coaching knowledge and 15+ years of national and world cup racing experience, Katy is a bit of a legend and her coaching skills are highly acclaimed. We are excited to work alongside her to encourage more female riders to seek high quality coaching to help progress their skills, whilst having fun and meeting like-minded people.
These courses are aimed at riders comfortable on blue trails and looking to progress their skills to the next level under the expert guidance from Katy Curd in a super friendly and non-intimidating all female group environment. We recommend that you have done the ‘Trail Progression’ session before ‘Jumps & Drops’ to help you progress at a faster level but it is not essential.
