Alberta 66 Mountain Biking

I’ve had two shuttle days with the AB66 crew. The first was a black shuttle day - we did 9 runs! Awesome folks & tail guide. Second was a work event. Everyone had a great time

Booked a private shuttle so we could get some sweet sweet laps in. Jeff was very accommodating, gave some great trail and feature recommendations and was super friendly. For mountain bikers visiting from out of town, this is a great option. Thanks Jeff & Laura.

Had an awesome experience with these guys on Moose. Super chill and fun to ride with. Can't wait to ride with them again.

What a great day! Thank you Jeff (our guide and owner) and Kristi Lyn (our driver). Both were very knowledgeable about the trail system and did a great job of assessing our skill level. The day was amazing and progressive. Can't say enough good things about Alberta 66! We'll be back!

My experience in the 4 day advanced series was AMAZING. I learned so much from coaches Jeff and Alex (biggest take-aways on cornering and control on steeps) and had a lot of fun. It was a safe space to hone-in on some technical riding and I'll be back for more! Thanks Jeff/Alex!

We recently booked a private coaching session with Coach Scotty. It was a wonderful experience. He was professional, highly knowledgeable, and most importantly a lot of fun to work with. He worked with our goals in mind and threw in some additional tips. We will definitely be doing more sessions with Alberta66 in the future! Great group!

Laura and Jeff! Great instructors!
My son enjoyed it.
Thank you so much.
Hope to see you next year!

I've taken my share of lessons over the years and I can say that Alberta 66 has been my favourite! I took a one night drops & jumps class with Jeff & Logan and a four week series with Laura & Andra. Every one of these coaches were amazing! They make sure everyone feels included, gets their fair share of feedback and that we all have fun! The way they teach makes everything digestible and approachable.and even when you're apprehensive, you find yourself feeling safe & confidant. Will definitely be signing up with them again next year!

I have taken two courses with Alberta 66 and they have both exceeded my expectations! Through both courses, aside from teaching the skills on a bike, they help to address anxieties in the sport and help to break down barriers so you can have the best time anytime you’re out riding.
If you run into these fine humans on the trail you’ll get nothing but the biggest smiles! So thankful to have met them and to be part of the same community.

Jeff and Laura are amazing! Great service, super knowledgable and heaps of fun! Loading time between laps super fast, not a lot of wasted time hanging around waiting. Would do again 100%!

I love Alberta 66. It has great teachers (Laura and Scotty), great drills and great trails. I love the teacher's support and feedback. I want to do the alberta 66 courses forever. I highly recommend Alberta 66.

Knowledgeable, patient, kind and fun. Good with adults and kids. Jumps and drops course increased my confidence through practice and immediate feedback as well as my understanding of the physics behind a jump.

I keep coming back to these guys, because I learn something new every year! This was the third year I did the 4-week intermediate series. Their coaching is so great because they give personalized feedback and really notice what you are (or aren't) doing on the bike during drills! The shuttles are a great plus in smokey or hot summers like this one.

Did an intro jumps & drops clinic with a group of buddies which was led by Jeff. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience & we came away with much needed improvement in skills. Jeff was very knowledgeable & patient with the diverse skill levels. He even lent his bike out when one wasn't up to the task. Strongly recommended for anyone wanting to learn or improve those skills & gain confidence while doing so.

Super well organized. We got nine runs in, 2500m of drop! Laura was super helpful when my kid had a blister that needed attention. IMO the only way to ride Moose Mountain. Thanks AB 66

Jeff is a fantastic and patient instructor, offering constructive feedback and encouragement often. Safety comes first and fun is a close second.

Highly recommend Alberta 66, this was my first course with them (Jumps and Drops) and my husband's second. They have a passion for teaching and sharing their love of Mountain biking and this truly comes through in the lessons

If you're considering a course with them, just do it, you won't regret it!

Can I give more than 5 stars?

I can’t say enough great things about AB66 and all the coaches, especially Jeff, Greg and Laura.

Not only was the patent and friendly coaching very helpful in breaking bad habits, I had a blast! Jeff’s enthusiasm is especially contagious.

We ran into an injured party (not riding with us) and Jeff instantly switched into a calm and confident first responder, rescuing a fellow rider and getting her safely down the trial to help - inspiring.

No matter what your skill or experience is, I highly recommend riding with the team at AB66!

My husband and I spent a day with Laura at Moose Mountain. She was super friendly and very knowledgeable about all things mountain biking! After a quick warm up lap to assess our skill levels, she took us on some more challenging trails trails and stopped at each section to let us know what to expect and which features would be within our skill level. With her guidance I was able to tackle more difficult trails than I would have felt comfortable trying on my own. We are from Manitoba and this was our second time biking in Alberta, and after just one day with Laura I felt more confident and comfortable on my bike! We will definitely be going back!

Laura. Best mountain biking coach in the biz. Patient, competent, always looking out for personal safety and not too strict! Recommend

Jeff and Laura are experts at what they do, experienced MTB guides and coaches. They are also very active in the local MTB community, contributing large amounts of volunteer time. The scene is greatly enhanced by these two.

Even experienced expert level riders would benefit from coaching from these two.

Taking a course through AB66 is one of the best investments and upgrades one can do to enhance their experience in the sport as well as refine their skill on Mountain Bikes. The instructors at AB66 always put rider safety at the forefront, they are keenly observant, helpful, understanding and create a safe environment for all riders to learn. The atmosphere is always light-hearted, spiced up with a little quick humour while staying focused on ensuring participants are progressing and consolidating their skill set. The instruction is clear & concise and they accommodate to all the skill levels present in the group. Their curriculum & instructors are consistent through a stand-alone evening course through to their weekly programs. Always providing helpful feedback and ways to improve and noting when there are consolidated and what to work on for the "next level" of riding. The instructors/guides are always super friendly and fun to work with.

AB66 is a wonderful addition to the Bragg Creek area & the MTB community as their services don't stop at instruction, they offer guiding, shuttling in their vans (Olga & Oscar), Youth Camps (summer months), and trips to Baseline Mountain. They have scheduled shuttle days during the summer season labelled clearly as "Blue" (Intermediate) or Black (Advanced) and your bikes are loaded safely & have one of their top notch guides sweeping for a "no drop" ride. A great way to spend a day meeting other riders and exploring trails on Moose Mountain.

Not to mention they somehow find time to organize one of the most RAD Enduro races - Mooseduro - each September (pandemic years aside ;) ). They are supportive of the local trail building organizations and find ways to contribute back to the community.

10/10 recommend for anyone who wants to ride in the mountains on mountain bikes whether it is tuning up existing skills, enhancing super rad skills or getting set up with the basics for many years of riding in the rocky mountains.

Learning and riding with the coaches of Alberta 66 MTB has allowed me to enjoy this wonderful sport even more. I have taken a couple of sessions and lessons from them and have always been able to improve my riding which allows me to try more challenging trails.

We used Alberta 66 mountain biking for a day of shuttling around moose mountain in July. Laura was super helpful and knew all there was to know about the trails, including which ones I could ride on my gravel bike and which ones I needed the mountain bike for.
We also ran into Jeff (the other owner) on the trails and he was able to help me adjust my helmet.

They are the friendliest people you will ever meet, and there’s no one better to help you out with a day of shuttling or a lesson.

Laura and Jeff are an amazing duo! They bring positive energy when coaching and have have greatly impacted the mountain bike community in our area. I’ve learn so much from their classes and feel more confident after each class)

I joined a group shuttle day with Alberta66 and had a blast! They accommodated all levels of rider, went at a pace that let us ride All Day Long and added some useful tips for the local trails. Laura and Jeff run a fabulous program, can't wait to go back!

Jeff was an awesome coach. He was engaging and created a fun and exciting learning environment for my son who’s already asking for another session with Jeff.

Great experience. Monica was our instructor. We really wanted to get our Kids more into mountain biking, and see was awesome. Was great with the kids, picked a trail that she thought the kids would enjoy, and none of us were disappointed. It was refreshing to find a company setup to be able to help kids gain confidence and skill to be able to go further in this sport.

Fantastic, will be encouraging anyone that asks to take a lesson. Better to do it sooner than later too before you pick up a bunch of bad habits!

Did "New to Mountain Bike" half day session - Aug 2,2020

Last Saturday, the thing that I never thought that I would be doing and somehow capable of doing, not even in my wildest dream HAPPENED - our 1st FAMILY REAL MOUNTAIN BIKING ADVENTURE ‍️‍️‍️‍️ with another group of family friends ‍️‍️‍️. We had our 1st professional training session from the amazing and super-patient mountain-biking experts, Jeff and Laura – husband & wife‍️‍️owners of Alberta 66 Mountain Biking!

Laura took the 2 husbands for an intermediate lesson and did their advance thing while Jeff had us – the beginners. The experience I couldn’t explain – biking up the mountain and biking downhill (which for me, was the hardest & the scariest!) I was the one, again, who got smoked by everyone in my group. But Jeff was there patiently teaching me techniques on biking downhill and pedaling against massive tree roots & encouraging me to enjoy the beautiful view while I was conquering my downhill biking-fear. Laura had to wait for Jeff for an extra hour as Jeff and I were still biking down the mountain while the gang was already done! All of them enjoyed the downhill biking!

But we all did it ‍️ made it back alive and feeling accomplished! I thank Jeff, especially for being such an amazing trainer – so patient and has the power of making me feel calm despite my fear of biking downhill. Laura, thank you for teaching us the basics and for your amazing support! You both are the best! Your customer service is superb! It was great to know you both. Jeff, thank you; I will never forget what you keep on reminding me – "It’s always in the mind"?

We all had such a great experience with Alberta 66 Mountain Biking

Had an awesome time in the New to MTB clinic! Great quality of instruction at a fun, relaxed pace! Learned a lot in the half day and look forward to taking my new skills to the trails.

I have shuttled with them and took my first lesson today. Scott is a beauty ripping us around in Oscar the van and giving trail advice. Jeff is so knowledgeable and easy to learn from, I have been riding for 10+ years and lots of stuff I needed to fix/tweak. So good at explaining everything in a way that makes sense. I am a better rider now for sure now and I can't wait to put my skills to the test. Me and my buddy are planning to book another session!

Intro to mountain biking course with Laura and Andra was so great! They did such a good job at teaching us the basic skills and did so in a fun and safe manner. The course was accommodating for a variety of begginer skill levels and the instructors were encourgaing, made you feel comfortable and were there to help every step of the way. I would highly recommend Alberta 66 MTB - thank you for helping me gain the skills and confidence, I will be back again!

My partner and I did a 3.5 hour lesson with Jeff, it was awesome. Worked on everything from simple skills to jumps and drops to improve general riding. 100% recommend to anyone looking to improve their riding!

We are looking forward to our mountain bike training with you in the spring. As weird as it may be to write a review ahead of time, Jeff and Co.have been nothing but the best in understanding circumstances that prevent us from taking a pre-booked lesson. This is the type of company I can work with. Thanks to your team.

We had a great shuttle day - really appreciated the service. Worth the price and would do it again in the future.

My partner and I had a private lesson with Jeff and it was excellent! He did a great job of tailoring to each of our skill levels, kept the mood light and fun, and most importantly made us want to ride more. Definitely will be back and could not recommend Alberta 66 more!

I recently did a shuttle day with AB66 and I can HIGHLY recommend it to anyone, whether you're from the area or not. Jeff and Laura provide a professional, fun environment for more laps than your legs can handle. A full day of laughs in the van on the way up and hooting & hollering and grinning the entire way back down, AB66 provides a safe, knowledgeable, efficient and FUN way to explore Moose Mountain. Can't wait to book a coaching session with them next season!

Laura and Jeff bring a lot of knowledge and stoke to this awesome sport. Moose Shuttle days are bomb. I've made the drive out from Saskatoon twice now. Would shred again.

You can trust Jeff and Laura to make sure you have a great day! They will meet you at your skill level, they are invested in your progression, and they are enthusiastic about getting you to love mountain biking more!

I've done a number of the shuttle days on Moose and Baseline Mountain. We always get in a ton of laps and have a great time. Jeff and Laura know the trails extremely well and love what they do. Highly recommend riding with Alberta66!

Jeff and Laura are awesome teachers and guides. They will have you hooting and hollering all day and you'll leave as a better rider. Couldn't recommend them more!

Beginner course with Laura and Jeff was absolutely awesome! They are both passionate about the sport and are both born teachers. They are fully committed to their students and go above and beyond to make sure that we learn and progress each lesson. Each session was planned on a new trail and would start with skills training immediately followed by practical application on the trails. None of the parking lot drills! Their instruction is clear, gradual and builds on the skills from the previous lesson. I strongly recommend the beginner course to anyone who wants to try mtb, increase confidence and learn new skills right on the trails.

Great instructors and lot of fun to ride with! The Discovery series gave me a pile of techniques to work on for a faster and smoother ride - I plan to make this an annual habit.

I met Jeff at the trail head of Pneuma this morning, he was just there to clear some logs that have fallen on the trail. We got to talking, I explained it was my first time there, and he went out of his way to tell me about the trails and which ones i should take first. He then offered me a ride to the top of the mountain which he'd did not have to do. On the way up he went into more detail about the area and features of the trails. I did not hire him at all, he did this out of the kindness of his heart. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you again Jeff I really appreciated it!

Great instruction in a fun and safe environment.
I would recommend Jeff and Laura for beginner to advanced riders looking at improving technical skills or guiding in the area. Super fun!
And Oscar the van and his cameo sheet covers are worth the experience!
