The Avalahalli State Forest near Yelahanka is perfect for trail riding and learning the basics of handling a mountain bike. There are fairly long stretches of single track and double track, with lots of green cover all through. There are also a couple of rocky, technical sections for the adrenaline junkies out there.

We will organise a brief mountain biking workshop for those interested to acquire trail riding skills. From body posture and techniques for climbing and descending, and effective braking habits, to tackling loose surfaces off-road terrain and riding off the saddle, expect lessons on a veriety of mountain biking skills. You can then ride across the forest practicing what you have learnt.

This is graded as a Moderate (Level-2) ride not for the distance or endurance aspects, but because of the tricky sections on the trail where riders can push their limits.
