Ride Like a Pro: 2-Day Mountain Bike Intensive at Myra-Bellevue (Kelowna) | Workshop | Sports

Ride Like a Pro unfolds over two focused days at Myra-Bellevue (Crawford), a rugged slice of the Okanagan just outside Kelowna, British Columbia. This intensive mountain bike camp pares away hesitation and rebuilds technique with a curriculum built by pro-level coaches. If you already ride blue and black trails and want measurable speed and control gains, this is the training block that accelerates progress. The terrain here is punchy and honest: steep singletrack, technical rock gardens, tight bermed corners and short, raw climbs woven through dry benchlands and scattered Ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir. Those natural features make Myra-Bellevue ideal for focused skill drills—traction, line choice and braking modulation translate directly from practice zones to full-speed trail runs. The area sits within the traditional territory of the Syilx (Okanagan) people, and its trails climb past exposed bedrock outcrops and open views of the valley below. Day one emphasizes technical foundations and the physics of speed: advanced body position, precision braking and stability at velocity. Coaches break movements into repeatable drills, then stitch them into flowing trail sequences. Day two pushes application—steeper lines, sharper corners and live coaching during long rides so you can test choices under fatigue. Instruction is led by Alessandro, GSMBC Level 2 and ZEP Okanagan Regional Manager, who layers video analysis and a personalized progress report into the package so you leave with a concrete plan for continued improvement. The program is deliberately high-touch: limited group sizes, focused coaching hours (10–12 total), and real-time video playback to isolate body position and timing. Riders are expected to bring a mechanically sound full-suspension bike with hydraulic disc brakes; helmets are mandatory and protective padding is strongly recommended. Participants should be prepared for 4–6 hours of riding per day across mixed technical terrain. Why book it? For riders who ride regularly but want to ride faster with less effort, this camp removes the guesswork. The coaching is precise, the terrain unforgiving in the best way, and the learning is directly transferable to local trails around Kelowna and beyond. Meeting point is Myra-Bellevue (Crawford); minimum age is 16. Whether you want to clean your first black-graded feature or reduce lap times, this two-day reset is a practical, fast route to higher-performance riding in one of British Columbia's most rideable backyards. Bookings are limited—reserve early to secure a spot in a cohort that emphasizes repetition over spectacle. Riders leave with annotated video clips, a prioritized drill list and confidence to attack technical sections with controlled aggression. Bring a charged phone for recordings, a tube kit and plenty of water; sun and wind in the Okanagan can change conditions quickly. This camp is a concentrated investment in speed, safety and sustainable skill progression daily.
