we offer a combination ride and lesson for those of you
interested in improving your technical and/or mechanical skills:
Technical skills
Developing better technique will help you increase your
control,
confidence and enjoyment of mountain biking. There is nothing as
satisfying as accomplishing ever greater challenges. During the ride, we'll
incorporate several lessons on technical sections, both climbing and descending,
working with
weight transfer, usage of brakes, balance
and strength.
Mechanical skills
It's important to have an understanding of the bike's functioning and to
maintain it in good condition for a
safer, more comfortable
and more efficient ride. You'll learn how to properly clean the bike--
a
clean bike will ride better and last longer--and how to adjust it
to you for a
proper fit, including adjusting
seat height and fore/aft position, and handlebar height and length of reach.
In order to maintain your bike in proper function, we'll teach you how to
make
minor repairs, such as adjusting brakes
and derailleurs, replacing cables, and fixing flats--
a
must if you're out on the trail alone.
