Off Root - Hindhead

Hannah L.

Both my sons have been learning each week since we signed up just after Covid. They started off as kids who quite liked being on bikes and have developed so much since, and have now become pretty obsessive mountain bikers! They have thoroughly enjoyed it and very much look forward to going each week. They are focused on their biking and love getting out on their bikes, and wr often go out as a family. It really has been fantastic for them, their skills are really improving. Jackie is so enthusiastic, even in the cold and the rain, she really is great.

I have been biking with Jackie and OffRoot for just over a year. It is the highlight of my week, challenging but the best fun. My fitness, biking skills and confidence have improved hugely with Jackie’s consistent coaching. The recent Devon trip was well organised and great bike routes i cant believe i achieved. Cant wait for the next adventure.

I have had two recent experiences with Off Root, firstly a mtb coaching session with Jackie. It was really good to be coached on our mtb skills and we really felt like we really improved ! Jackie was great, full of enthusiasm and pushed us just out of our comfort zone to really change the way that we ride. Plus we recently had a 1/2 day guided ride with Chris south of the punchbowl. It was a great experience, 25 miles of brand new trails that we would never have found on our own. Chris was a brilliant guide, the route was a perfect XC ride for our group, even the mud after the recent downpours did not damped our fun! I cannot recommend Off Root enough (and I very rarely write reviews!)

My 5yo joined the Off Shoots 4-5/6yo class for cycling beginners and she loves it! Being able to cycle with kids matching her ability is very encouraging. She’s learnt a lot of great basics like using handbrakes, slowing down, going on uneven and hilly ground and standing up cycling, among other great skills. Jackie and her team of amazing helpers have a very great and playful approach to kids who love all the fun games. Highly recommended for kids classes but also heard a lot of great things about adult classes which hopefully I’ll be able to join in near future.

Jackie is brilliant. My son regularly attends her sessions and has been since he was 5. He has grown in confidence so much and loves Jackie’s sessions. He is officially MTB obsessed and that is all down to Jackie and Ranee’s enthusiasm and encouragement.

I’ve been riding with Off Root for over 5 years. Jackie knows every route and trail around Haslemere & surrounding areas (Punchbowl, Blackdown, Ludshott, Hankley, Etc Etc) and has loads of energy and enthusiasm plus the skills and knowledge to make every ride an adventure and most importantly fun! There is always a great group of people to ride with whether you want to dip in for a single ride or ride every week. Thoroughly recommend Off Root…

Jackie was the guide on my recent cycling trip (Wales end to end) and she was absolutely brilliant.
As a 37yr old woman, with zero technique and very little experience on hills, I was struggling! Jackie gave me a number of tips, tricks and technical advice that vastly improved my riding, confidence and overall experience of the trip. Thanks so much Jackie ~ I hope to zoom down a hill with you at some point in the future

I reached out to Jackie after making a promise to myself to get on the mountain bike that my late husband bought me and I had never used!

I have received some great coaching to get me started in setting the bike up and skills training to transition from road cycling to mtb.

What I didn’t expect was a warm welcome into such a lovely group of people who get together regularly to have fun getting out on their bikes, led by Jackie’s brilliant organisation and route planning, I have cycled places on my doorstep I never knew existed!

I am now really looking forward 2024 and getting stuck in to the weekly rides, taking advantage of the planned day meet ups and even some away trips!
