Mountain biking is one of our favorite summer activities and we are not alone! While most of us have ridden on bikes since we were kids, bringing your bike into the mountain bike scene can open up a whole new world. In doing so, you want to make sure that you have the foundational skills to get you out there.
This is where our Intro to Mountain Biking course comes in. This 1-day course will be a hybrid of skills sessions and on-trail application to help you develop a solid foundation of skills to take with you on the rest of your mountain biking journey. Whether you just got a bike or are an experienced rider, this course should be your first step to developing or formalizing your biking skills.
