About this event
In this 2-hour introductory clinic, we will cover the skill essentials to help your young rider on your path to loving riding bikes on dirt (even on roots and rocks!)
Our INTRO TO MOUNTAIN BIKING clinic is perfect for the beginner rider, or the intermediate rider who wants to refresh foundational skills. By the end of this clinic, you'll be equipped with a solid toolkit to help you tackle beginner singletrack trails confidently and smoothly.
Our local, expert clinic leaders will cover the basics: body position, braking, shifting, and starting and stopping on hills and into cornering. We will keep you moving as much as possible with feedback and encouragement. Clinics are limited to 12 participants so instructors can provide individualized support.
LOCATION: Aldo Leopold Park
EQUIPMENT: At minimum, you'll need a helmet, close-toed footwear, and an operable, maintained basic mountain bike (with front suspension). We will have limited snacks and water available, but please come prepared with your own nutrition and hydration needs, too!
