Event details: Introduction to Mountain Biking - REI Outdoor School
Description
Experience the thrill of mountain biking with our instructors as they teach you the proper techniques of shifting, braking, hill climbing and descent, body and pedal position, and navigating minor obstacles on the trail.
This is designed as an educational ride, not a guided tour; we want to teach you how to get more out of your mountain biking experience. We'll start by addressing proper bike fit, making necessary adjustments to improve comfort and performance.
Next we'll demonstrate riding techniques and teach important communication and safety skills to prepare you for the ride. We'll teach you the trail etiquette techniques that mountain bikers can use to help keep trails open and safe for all trail users.
Then it's off for a great ride to practice all the skills you've learned.
Novara mountain bikes provided at no additional cost for those without a bike of their own.
Recommended for those 14 and older, under 18 must be accompanied by parent or responsible adult. NO RIDER IS LEFT BEHIND!
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Upcoming Trips:
1/24 at Bailey's Crossroads
