This will be an opportunity for beginner riders to review the skills learned in the Mountain Bike Skills Clinic and be exposed to new adventures. If you have not attended one of the clinics, you should have solid basic skills on single-track to benefit from this class. We will practice setting up for single-track short climbs, moving through gears when needed, short and moderate rock slabs and short moderate drops. There will be opportunities to practice winding downhill turns and slow speed turns through boulders. This is a beginner + skills and moderate cardio ride.
Skill level: Beginner
Time: ~3 hours
