Women's Beginner / Intermediate Mountain Bike Skills Clinic

Attention, Women only. Do you want to ride with your friends, but the thought of riding off-road scares you? Or, have you been riding mountain bikes, and you'd like to take your skills to the next level? This is for you! We will teach you some basic mountain biking skills needed to have a fun ride on easy to intermediate trails. We'll spend the morning  (about 3 hours) learning and practicing skills in a grass field. We'll break for lunch (so bring something to eat and drink), and then in the afternoon (about 2 hours) we'll hit the trails and put our new shred skills to the test! Expect to be active for 5 or 6 hours.

Saturday, November 4th at 10am
The cost per participant is $50.00. (This does NOT include lunch.)
We're limiting this to the first 25 women who sign up. If we get more women (and men) interested in participating, we'll do it again soon.

Park at the bottom parking lot in Pleasant Ridge Park on Highway 11. Start time is 10am, so please get there a little before that.

Bike Rentals: (If Desired)
Mountain bikes are required (no road or gravel bikes). Call your local bike store to see if they rent mountainbikes. Take advantage of these rentals to try a new bike.

Helmets are mandatory, full-fingered gloves are highly recommended. If you ride a road bike with clipless pedals, we suggest you continue with clipless pedals for this skills clinic, but for reasons which will become evident, I am a huge fan of the flat shoe-and-pedal system.

Bring sunscreen and bug spray, water, snacks and lunch.

**A note here about the weather: We advocate being good stewards of our trail systems. We’re counting on having some great weather, but if the trails are wet from rain (even if it’s not actively raining on the morning of the clinic), we may need to reschedule. We don’t tear up wet trails.
