Day 1 (Saturday). A first day in Fernie
We'll spend the first morning doing some great warmup rides near town, including the classics Roots and Roots Extension.   After a great morning of riding, we'll had back to the lodge for a hearty homemade lunch on the deck of our lodge.   When we've had our fill and had time to digest, we'll head out to the trails for a full afternoon of riding to test out some of our new skills.   After riding for several hours, we'll return to the lodge and if the weather permits, we'll take in some additional activities such as swimming in the nearby Elk River before heading out to a local restaurant for dinner.
n.b. dinner is not included in the tour price.

Day 2 (Sunday). Coaching and riding in Fernie
After breakfast, we'll spend the morning working on mountain bike skills with our certified coaches. After a full morning of skills training, we'll stop for lunch and fuel up for a big afternoon of biking. We ride to Ridgemont, ground zero for the Fernie mountain biking scene. There are dozens of trails fanning out from the fire road access, which can be linked up, and we'll pick and choose the best ones, such as 'Kid's Stuff' (an introduction to technical stunt riding with small stunts very close to the ground), 'Splitting Bears' and 'Eric's Trail' (a great descent).    We'll finish riding at 5 pm to give you ample time to return to Calgary or wherever else you may be coming from.

OPTIONAL : ADD AN EXTRA DAY OF RIDING IN FERNIE, including accommodation and meals.
