MTB Lessons in Kilkenny – TrailBikeBody MTB Coaching

TrailBikeBody MTB Coaching runs MTB Lessons in Kilkenny at Castlecomer Discovery Park, with its woodland trails, and also offers one-to-one coaching at Ballyhoura in Co. Limerick. The focus is on rider confidence: learning the right skills step by step so riding feels safe and fun.

Coach Darryl Makim holds the Trail Cycle Leader (TCL) and Mountain Bike Leader (MBL) awards and is a UCI Level 1 coach.

Lessons and courses

Riders can book one-to-one lessons of one and a half to two hours, or group coaching for up to 16 riders. The four-week adult beginner course costs €50, including the bike and helmet, so it is an easy way to try mountain biking without buying a bike first.

Kids, youth club and camps

Young riders can join the Saturday youth club and the holiday camps, where they build skills on the trails with other kids. Camps also prepare older riders for enduro and downhill riding.

Workshops

TrailBikeBody also runs workshops on overcoming fear and building confidence, and on basic bike maintenance.

Good to know

Castlecomer Discovery Park is about 20 minutes north of Kilkenny city. Hire bikes are available for groups, so ask when you book.
