This skill clinic is for all levels and can build with the information from last class! No matter what your ability, there is always room to improve!
Get ready to level up your ride! Join us for an energizing morning on the trail designed to boost your confidence and elevate your technique.
What We’ll Focus On:
● Body Position: Master the mechanics to stay balanced and in control across any terrain.
● Pressure Control: Creating, releasing and managing pressure through the bike to increase traction, speed and grip.
● Efficient Cadence: Find your rhythm to get the most out of each pedal and save energy, when possible, without losing momentum and speed.
● Trail Essentials & Safety: We will briefly go over what to pack for your rides along with essential trail safety and awareness tips.
What to Bring:
● Your own mountain bike
● A helmet
PLEASE NOTE:
● eBikes require specialized coach certification and are not permitted in this clinic. eBike-specific skills clinics are available in the Phoenix and Flagstaff areas.
● If you need to rent a bike or helmet, send an email to [email protected] to arrange a rental.
We provide:
● Yummy drinks and snacks! YAY!
How many can attend: 10 total
● Girls under 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult (as a paid clinic participant).
COST:
$20 SDMB member; $60 non-member ($40 goes to a one-year SDMB membership, so your next class will be just $20). Win-Win!
Open to all experience levels, this session provides an encouraging space to push your limits and progress at your own pace. Whether you are building a foundation or refining your skills, let's make your ride better!
This clinic is a safe, inclusive space open to anyone who self-identifies as a woman, as well as trans, non-binary, and gender-expansive (FTW) riders.
