Welcome!My name is Lee McCormack, and I like bikes. I've dedicated the past 20 years to teaching people how to ride beter, safer and faster. I've more than 11,000 riders of all levels including pros, but I prefer to work with regular folks who see MTB as part of a healthy life. When you take a class with me I guarantee you'll learn a lot, have a ton of fun, and become a much better rider.<a href="https://gemini.google.com/share/f4acdcaa672a" title="https://gemini.google.com/share/f4acdcaa672a" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Here's what Gemini says about working with me</a>.<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Lee+Likes+Bikes&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS844US844&oq=Lee+Likes+Bikes&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgAEAAYQzIHCAEQABhDMgcIAhAAGEMyBwgDEAAYQzIHCAQQABhDMgcIBRAAGEMyBwgGEAAYQzIHCAcQABhDMgcICBAAGENKBggCEAU%3D&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x876bf66e746a5839:0xae16d028b31a396,1" title="https://www.google.com/search?q=Lee+Likes+Bikes&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS844US844&oq=Lee+Likes+Bikes&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgAEAAYQzIHCAEQABhDMgcIAhAAGEMyBwgDEAAYQzIHCAQQABhDMgcIBRAAGEMyBwgGEAAYQzIHCAcQABhDMgcICBAAGENKBggCEAU%3D&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x876bf66e746a5839:0xae16d028b31a396,1" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">See my 5-star Google Reviews</a>.Work 1:1 with me: I'm available Nov. 18 and 19 for private sessions in the area. Learn what you want, where you want, at your pace. Interested? Email me at leelikesbikes@gmail.com.I'm stoked to teach a group class Nov. 20 at Santa Teresa County Park in San Jose, CA. Sign up here at EventBrite. I look forward to riding with you.LeeProudly partnered with Trail Head Cyclery. The best MTB shop in the U.S., and I'm qualified to say that. Before class bring your bike in for a tune and to make sure it fits you properly. <a href="https://www.trailheadcyclery.com/" title="https://www.trailheadcyclery.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.trailheadcyclery.com</a>Special guest star: Lars Thomsen, owner of Trail Head Cyclery! Lars brings valuable perspective, and the two of us make a hillarious comedy duo.<h3>What to expect in the group class</h3>Overall: I'm here to help you enjoy your mountain biking more than ever. We'll use the larking lot and nearby terrain to learn the core skills that help you ride sorts of trails. If you want to hit the black trails, great. If you prefer the greens, that's cool too. These days I'm into the blues. I'm very good at meeting you where you are.10 a.m. to lunchtime: I will teach you how to corner, then how to pump corners to generate traction and speed. This is the core skill for all run riding. Turns become sideways holes and jumps become topless rollers. In the morning you get Analytical Lee (I serve as professor of MTB at Colorado Mountain College in Steamboat Springs, CO). I'll give you the science, answer your nerdy questions and make sure you know the hows and whys of great riding.Lunchtime: We'll hang out and talk bikes. BYOL.Lunchtime to 5 p.m.: I switch to Guru Lee. Now it's all about using your new pumping skills in fun ways. We'll work our way up the hill, sessioning as we go. At the top we'll work on some more skills, then we'll flow like water down to the parking lot for drinks and snacks. Your mountain biking will be permanently upgraded.<h3>What you need</h3><ul><li>You don't need to be a fit, experienced or confident rider. You do need an open mind and a sense of play.</li><li>You need to be over 18 years old. Kids are welcome as long as a parent or guradian is in class with them.</li><li>A bike in good working order, plus your normal riding gear. ebikes are OK. I'll be riding accoustic.</li><li>Enough food and fluid to stay sharp all day.</li></ul><h3>Support your local trails</h3>If the bike park is closed due to conditions, I'll move class to another venue in the area. If the weather prohibits class, I'll reschedule.Questions? Email Lee at leelikesbikes@gmail.com

Here's a sense of my teaching style. The beard and shoulders have been replaced.

I'm so far into MTB I don't need a drivetrain anymore. So fun!
