They’ll learn to corner\, climb\, and descend;. They’ll also learn slow-riding skills to have fun riding more technical trails with features up to 2” high on uphill terrain\, and up to 8” high on downhill terrain. We will also discuss riding in a group and trail etiquette\, basic bike fit information\, decisions on whether to ride a feature or not\, and safe bailout techniques when things get tricky.  \n\n\n\nBike: A mountain bike\, either a hardtail or full suspension in good working condition with platform pedals\, knobby tires\, two hand brakes (front and rear)\, and a seat that can move up and down. Single speeds are OK but a bike with gears will be more fun on the climbs. No worn out tires or kickstands.  \n\n\n\nLet us know by the prior Saturday evening if you need to borrow a bike and/or helmet! We have a range of helmet sizes and bikes for riders from 4’ 5” up to 5’ 9” tall. First come first served.  \n\n\n\nRequired gear: A properly fitting helmet in good condition and is less than 5 years old. Water bottle and snacks. Clothing appropriate for the weather. Tools for moving the seat up and down if necessary. Pack to carry layers\, snacks\, tools\, and water.  \n\n\n\nRecommended gear: Full-fingered gloves. Knee and elbow protection. Eye protection.
