Join us for this confidence building series. Perfect for anyone new to the sport who wants to learn where to ride and some fundamental skills, while in a fun and encouraging environment. We will ride a new trail each week and focus on one skill each week.

Things you'll learn:

- How to check and set up your bike

- Where to ride and how to plan your route

- Riding Stance and Balance

​

The sessions will start with 30 minutes of skill sessions followed by a trail ride to apply what you've learned (1 to 1.5 hrs of riding). Sessions will begin at 6:30 pm. 

Riding the same trails every week? Want to see new areas, and improve your skills? Participants should be able to ride 2-2.5 hrs, be comfortable on "blue" XC trails, and have at least 1 season of experience on the mountain bike. We will ride a new area each week and focus on one skill each week.

​

Things you'll learn:

- Technical Climbing

- Braking 

- Descending steeper terrain

- Cornering

​

The sessions will start with 30 minutes of skill sessions followed by a trail ride to apply what you've learned (~2 hrs of riding). Sessions will begin at 6:30 pm. 

You can ride any blue level trail with no issues, and are ready to start increasing your speed, and facing some of the black trails. However you want to work in that direction while feeling under control.  

​

Things you'll learn:

- Confident line selection

​

The sessions will start with 30 minutes of skill sessions followed by a trail ride to apply what you've learned (~2 hrs of riding). Sessions will begin at 6:30 pm. 

You ride all the trails, but perhaps there are some holes in your game?  Want to increase speed, be more confident in loose steep sections and read the terrain better? Perhaps you have been mountain biking for years, but your technique is having trouble adapting to the new bikes and trail building techniques.  This is intended to be a diverse group of supportive individuals who are ready to try some new things.

Things you'll learn:

- Advanced braking techniques

- Maximizing traction 

- Descending steeps

- Increasing speed through all types of corners

​

The sessions will start with either a shuttle or a climb and then much of our time will be spent sessioning sections of the selected trail (~2 hrs of riding). Participants should be prepared to do some pedaling. Sessions will begin at 6:30 pm.
