Women’s Beginner/Intermediate MTB Clinic
August 5, 2023 @ 8:30 am - 12:00 pm
Come join Catamount Outdoor Family Center for a half-day women’s beginner/intermediate MTB clinic to bring your bike skills to the next level!
In this clinic, you will build upon beginner skills in a safe and supportive environment. You will explore beginner and intermediate trails and terrain, including roots, rocks, dirt, and wood features. You will also play some bike games while practicing drills and skills. You will continue to practice braking, body positioning on the bike, and skill blending (breaking, riding, shifting, and pedaling). Fun challenges await in this clinic, from climbing and descending single-track trails to rock walls to Gullywumper!!
Prerequisites include completion of a beginner skills clinic at Catamount in the past 3 years OR all of the following skills:
Eyes forward and scanning ahead while riding
Covering breaks with one finger while riding
Use of both brakes to slow down and stop
“Neutral” and “Ready” riding positions
