In our Express training, we managed to compress almost six days of training into two, so you can be ready to hit the trails faster.
Because it is physically impossible to teach 48 hours of techniques, tricks, and tips in 16, this training follows an exceptionally unique schedule.
We will go over the basics such as:
- Triangular position
- Emergency braking
- Cornering
- Hills
While explaining to you:
- The safety envelope this training will give you
- Clear instructions on what you can train on your own afterward to continue improving
- Basic principles of more advanced manoeuvres so you are aware of what lies ahead
With a clear understanding of basic techniques as well as what will be needed to evolve, you are bound to understand precisely what you know and what you don't, giving you a big safety net to start your off-road adventures.
As we are compacting a considerable amount of information is only two days, this training is one of the most physically intense of our curriculum, with a class cadence much higher than we usually do.
You don't need to be super fit or an athlete to complete our Express training successfully, anyone can do it, but be prepared for two high-intensity days without many rest stops, and with a great deal of information being delivered.
To achieve our training goals, you will be allowed less time to practice per exercise, and activities like ergonomic adjustments will have to be skipped, even though they will be taught and spoken of.
If you are in a rush to start riding, and you don't want to lose one second of off-road fun, nor any part of the teaching that is going to get you to where you aim to get, then this training is all you have been searching for!
As far as tires are concerned, we strongly recommend a 50-50 tire, with no need for seriously knobbies.
Our Express training values are for two full training days from 09:00 to 16:00 at our Enduro Camp facility in the Alentejo.
NOTE: Training in Cascais may exclude open field riding. In Cercal, it includes around 40kms of open tracks. This is above all the technical training we will do.
The value includes:
- Two lunches
- Water, and snacks during the class
- A private training for your group
- Experienced and certified Enduro instructor
Our class does NOT include:
- Sleeping arrangements, although we can recommend a hotel we work with
- Gasoline
- Dinner and breakfast, which are possible to have in the hotel as part of their service
- Bike rentals. We do not rent or arrange bikes for training sessions at this point.
- Personal accident insurance for the training days

Dates:
As long as the weather allows, we work all year round. So just book a class and we will get in touch to find a suitable date for you. If you prefer, you can also get in touch with us beforehand by email to check for available dates.
Check our available dates, and if there are no available dates when you want or need them, get in touch with us.
Languages:
There is nothing worse than having a class to learn something, just to realize you and your instructor cannot understand each other. We know, we have been there, both as instructors and students.
With this in mind, we decided to stick to what we know best, so our classes are hosted in both Portuguese and/or English.
Conditions:
Everything has rules, and our training and tours are no different, so let's go over what you need to know to attend this training.
- At least a 50-50 tire, designated as such by its respective manufacturer (recommend)
- An integral helmet that is not modular
- Protective gloves
- A suit or assorted protective gear capable of protecting your back, upper and lower limbs
- A mid-calf or full-calf boot, preferably, off-road biased
If you have any doubts about the gear or tires, let us know before you sign up for the class, as our instructors and guides have the right to refuse your participation in any of our activities, without reimbursement, if you do not present yourself with the minimum required safety gear.
As far as gas is concerned, it is important that you know that our Enduro Camp is 15 minutes away from the closest gas station and that we do not store extra gasoline on the camp.
This means that it is your responsibility to arrive with a full tank, or enough for at least 100kms (60miles) before the start of any activity.
The minimum quantity of fuel may vary depending on the activity, but it will always be disclosed to you beforehand.
Even though we are always flexible, due to the distance of the gas station, and out of respect for the instructors and the remaining participants, we generally cannot delay the start of any activity due to any participant's lack of fuel, the same way that there is no guarantee that any staff member will be available to escort you to the fuel station.
So get your bike fueled up, get your gear on, and come enjoy this incredible training!
Payment, cancelation, and refunds:
NOTE: Any group training session self-scheduled by the participants refers to purchasing X training spots for the required days in a private setting.
