| What does mountain
biking mean to us?
It
means aspiration that inspires achievement.
It means challenges that produce confidence.
It means the line between strength of body
and strength of character becomes blurred.
But
most of all it means joy.
Joy at the mastery
of new skills.
Joy in the discovery of hidden strengths.
Joy in the victory over personal limits.
And a profound joy we are gifted with
when we are pedaling through the wind,
onto the dirt, over the terrain,
and into the magic of mother earth. |

The focus is
on fun, safety, and learning at your own pace. There are breaks
with snacks and water at which time we talk about what we are learning,
assess your progress and answer your questions.
Between each
weekly clinic there is time for you to practice your new skills
so you'll be even more prepared for the next week's session.
