What is the subject about?

Speed, forest trails, mud under your tires and new trails every week

In Mountain Biking, we load our bikes onto the bus and head out to some of the best mountain bike trails on Funen. Every Friday brings new terrain, new challenges and plenty of time on the bike.

We’ll ride at Langesø, Staurby, Glamsbjerg and Davinde, and along the way, we’ll work on technique, fitness and, most importantly, the joy of riding a mountain bike.

Find your flow on the trails

Mountain biking is all about reading the terrain and reacting to what comes next. A steep climb. A sharp turn. A technical descent. Roots, rocks and uneven terrain.

You’ll learn how to work with your body and your bike to improve your control, balance and confidence on the trails. We’ll work on:

Riding technique and body position
Climbs, descents and turns
Balance and control
Different riding styles and techniques
Fitness, endurance and physical training
Bike maintenance and technical components

There’s room to push your limits and get your heart rate up – but also to simply find your flow and enjoy the ride through the forest.

Funen is our playground

One of the best things about the subject is that we don’t stay on school grounds. Every Friday, we load our mountain bikes and gear onto the bus and head out to discover new trails.

We’ll explore different types of terrain and trails across Funen, so you’ll experience how the surface, landscape and challenges change from one place to another.

It also means plenty of adventures beyond the school – and a whole lot of kilometres in your legs.

Practical information

You don’t need your own mountain bike

You don’t need to invest in an expensive bike to join.

You can borrow both a mountain bike and a helmet from the school, so all the essential gear is ready when we head out. All you need to bring is clothing that can handle a bit of mud – and a desire to hit the trails.

To fit the school’s mountain bikes, you need to be at least 165 cm tall.

Who is this subject for?

Mountain biking is for you if you love being active, want to challenge yourself and enjoy experiencing nature from the saddle.

You don’t need to be an experienced mountain biker. Maybe you’ve never ridden a proper MTB trail before, or maybe you already know your way around jumps, berms and technical descents. Whatever your level, there’s plenty of opportunity to develop your skills and become a better rider.

The most important thing is that you’re up for riding, learning and having fun along the way.

Please note: Mountain Biking is not offered in January, February or March.
