Hajime Bike Club: Advanced Course Riding Workshop for Adults

HAJIME Bike Club runs schools for children, we have received many requests to hold events for adults for some time. Therefore, in order to promote the activities of the HAJIME Bike Club, we are organising a special free event for adults.

At this event, we will use the Mrs Odawara Forest Bike course and show you how to ride the course from a professional's point of view. Specifically, you will learn

- How to choose a course line

- When and how to brake

- How to ride safely, without speeding and with minimal risk.

For example, we will give you tips on how to avoid problems such as braking suddenly because you are scared on a new track and your tyres slip, or going too fast and almost overrunning in a corner. The two-hour session is designed to help you learn the key points of course strategy.

Participation is free, but participants are responsible for their own Odawara Forest Bike riding fees.

Please note that the number of participants is expected to be around 10 and applications may be closed once the maximum number has been reached.
