Please note that we do not lend mountain bikes for our weekly courses!
In the summer semester you have the opportunity to borrow bikes from Campus Plus free of charge, but only during Campus Plus times. This offer is completely independent of our mountain biking courses.
General information
The meeting point for all courses is always in front of the entrance to the university sports hall, building 28 (unless otherwise announced in the email distribution list).
Before the tour, a joint bike check is carried out. The tour usually starts 10 minutes after the meeting point.
For all courses you need to bring your own mountain bike, helmet, gloves, provisions (drinks and possibly bars), repair kit, inner tube and small pump.
For the advanced course we recommend protectors for the elbows, knees and shins.
Course offer
Slightly advanced
If you have been mountain biking for a while, are in good shape for long tours and feel confident on the bike downhill, this is the right place for you. We start every Monday at 5 p.m. in front of the Unisport sports hall and set off for approx. 3 hours and 20-30 km long laps in the Palatinate Forest. There may be individual uphill or downhill competitions, but the focus is clearly on having fun together. So if you are new to cycling in Kaiserslautern or would like to get to know new routes, you are welcome to come along and get to know the Monday group. We are always happy to see new faces.
Advanced
The advanced cyclists meet on Thursdays at 6 pm in front of the Unisport sports hall. This is the right place for anyone who has been riding MTB for a while and wants to improve their technique or pick up tips and tricks from others. Rides of around 3 hours and 20-30 km are planned. However, it can also happen that you stay longer in one place and practise difficult sections. Offsetting the rear wheel, drops and high steps uphill are part of the program from time to time. So if you are technically fit and want to learn something new, you are always welcome to join us on Thursdays.
Beginners
There is a 6-week beginners' course for (re)beginners at the start of the semester from 5.05.2025. MTB riders will meet up in front of the Unisport sports hall to take on their first trails. Whether hardtail or super enduro fully, everyone is welcome here who is new to the sport or has been wanting to get back on a bike for a while. We'll check the bikes together to make sure they're fit to ride, go through the most important basics and then set off on a ride of around 1 ½ hours in the Palatinate Forest. Come along and get to know our group and the wonderful MTB opportunities in the Palatinate Forest.
