Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A friend and I organised a 3 hour guided ride with Singletrack School. This was my first time riding the Surrey Hills area and a guided ride was a great way to learn some of the trails. Our guide Danielle was very knowledgeable, providing excellent advice on bike setup, safety and technique throughout the ride. The pace and technicality of the ride was matched very well to our ability and fitness. Looking forward to doing it again.

I attended the Fast Track Singletrack two day course prior to the lockdown.

The course was fantastic, with practical explanations to help you remember techniques, as well as plenty of opportunity to practise and hone the skills. The sessions on setup, plus some bike upgrade tips were all very useful too. I found Danielle's teaching style to be very positive, with a mix of humour, encouragement, and also reminders when old bad habits were setting in - all of which helped cement the learning.

Thank you to the team and I will be back for the next module in the future.

Hi Mark Great to hear you had a good time on your Fast-track Singletrack Skills (2 day) course and found it helpful. Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Much appreciated. Assuming your practice goes well, join us for a Singletrack Improver (part II) course in a month or so. We'll build on your last course and take you to the next level. If you're prevented from practicing during the lockdown, you could consider our Mountain Bike Improver (2 day) course which shares day one (Singletrack Improver - Part I) with day two (Singletrack Improver - Part II) of the Fast-track Singletrack Skills course for revision and consolidation Looking forward to seeing you again then. Look after yourself and thanks again for choosing Singletrack School. See you soon. :) Danielle

Massive thanks to Danielle and Singletrack school for such a wonderful experience. Quality and professionalism was top class from start to finish , excellent communication and information enabling my friend and I to have everything we needed for a successful days coaching .

Danielle is an excellent instructor and her technique was informative and encouraging, pointing out error and helping to correct in a wonderful manner

The selection of like minded and equally skilled pupils made for a great day in the company of like minded individuals.

I personally ended the day feeling very positive about my future mountain biking and can’t wait to hone my skills and return to learn more .many thanks one again , highly recommend

We contacted Singletrackschool to enquire about a mountain bike experience for our 21 year old son who has moderate autism with associated learning difficulties. Danielle was extremely supportive and understanding to talk through his needs and abilities. That was over 3 months ago!! He has now successfully completed the 1-2-1 skills beginners course and now thoroughly enjoys meeting Danielle regularly for coaching/rides in the beautiful Surrey Hills. She has been wonderful in her flexibility, with adapting the sessions to suit his needs. As well as learning many things and becoming proficient on a mountain bike, he has gained so much from the whole experience. It has given him a wonderful new lease of life, and a social experience of adventure, fun and freedom, which has built his confidence and self esteem and most of all his happiness. He really looks forward to his sessions and so enjoys them whatever the weather! I too have learnt a lot from her wealth of knowledge.
Thank you so much Danielle for your flexibility, patience, kindness and humour!!
The world could do with a few more people like you!

A great day spent with Danielle who’s instruction was clear, knowledgeable and informally delivered concisely and with humour. Her patience with me was much appreciated.!! She gave me a lot to take away and I know that if I apply what she taught me it will improve my riding loads. I’d definitely recommend Singletrack School for anyone that wants to move their mountain bike riding to the next level.

I recently did the two day course, and highly recommend it. The first day may seem slow, but by the end of the second I was riding, and enjoying, trails that I wouldn't have considered trying before. I loved Danielle's confident coaching, striking a great balance between humor, critique and encouragement. Hope to do more courses with Danielle as she's clearly an outstanding rider and coach, and increased my confidence 10-fold.

I attended the fundamentals, improver part 1 and part 2.

Danielle is an great mountain bike coach who teaches the proper techniques for fundamentals skills needed to ride faster, safer and with better style. Her approach to explain the why not just the what is refreshing and effective. My confidence and flow riding trails after completing 3 days with Danielle is the evidence that her method works if you follow it through until the end.

Positives:
- Well structured progressive courses.
- Effective coaching methods, and gives good constructive feedback to improve immediately.
- Refreshing humour and a genuinely nice person.

Negatives:
- Being group courses, they run at a slower pace to cater for multiple people and different abilities.
- The discussion on tyre pressures and suspension settings in the car park could have been much, much faster. A suggestion to do a warmup ride and skills and then the more stationary content midway through instead of at the start.

What to consider when booking:
- Due to quiet times for bookings, if there aren't 2 other participants for the course it will probably get cancelled and you will need to find a new date that works for you. It might be worth checking which dates are likely to run in advance before booking as refunds are not offered.
- Consider what is your riding styles and areas you want coaching for, this course is about the fundamental skills, body position, braking, corners, manuals etc... and not jumps, steep terrain etc.
- Consider what is your learning style: do you like a slower pace, social, group atmosphere, then go for the group courses! If you like to learn quickly, and go practice in your own time, you could probably cover the content in a day private coaching.

Two days of excellent coaching to get me confident on tackling the basics on single track riding. Id got some experience, but not much. Danielle was a great coach and explained things well and the course was well paced, with enough time to practice and try to learn the more complex skills. I feel a lot more confident in approaching single track now. There were six of us on the course, which was a good size as you could learn from others too, but it didn't feel like you were just "one in a crowd" Highly recommended

We did the Singletrack Fundamentals day course and it was awesome. I had a lot of bad habits picked up from riding road bikes - Danielle broke it all down, going over checking the bikes, getting prepped then learning how to brake properly, handle obstacles, and unknown terrains hiding in dips. This meant we could do ‘condiment hill’ in style.
Don’t do this course expecting to be on a mountain bike riding straightaway. Do this course to learn the fundamentals well so that you’re a better rider with good foundations and won’t injure yourself so you can continue to be a better rider for the future. We thoroughly enjoyed the day. Thanks Danielle! Hope to see you again for more sessions. Your humour, banter and manner was golden.

Recently completed a two day weekend course with Single Track and the professional understanding of a bike as exemplary as was the build up of instruction. Building on fundamentals braking, cornering and manuals together with plenty of homework to take away. Highly recommend their instruction.
