CTC Mountain Bike Leader Awards Calendar
2009 preliminary course calendar
Course dates for currently scheduled open courses for 2009 are now available below.
Courses are split into two categories:
- Open courses - those available for individuals and small groups through booking on to a set venue and date
- Special courses - those arranged specifically for existing groups and provided at their venue. These are not available to individuals looking for a course place. More on arranging special courses.
Venues
The high quality venues distributed around the UK and Europe remain, providing great classroom facilities, food and accommodation as well as being located within some of the best riding the UK can offer.
Dates
These dates and venues are the courses and times we expect to provide courses for 2009. There will be additional venues and dates added in due course. Some dates may yet change from the list provided.
Booking
Course booking systems will be available during December. Until this time we can pencil you in for a course place to ensure you have a place reserved until the full course booking options become available. To do this, just email us with your name, desired open course, venue and date from the list below and we will reply by email to confirm receipt.
