we offer a combination ride and lesson for those of you interested in improving your technical and/or mechanical skills:Knees wide, relaxed stance

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.
