FALL LADIES “SKILLZ & THRILLZ” CLINIC

September 24, 2016 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

Home Grown Mountain Biking Tours is happy to present the Fall Ladies SKILLZ & THRILLZ Clinic! This clinic is for women only who currently ride at an intermediate level. Professional Mountain Bike Instructors will provide a safe environment to progress your abilities on the bike, and help you apply those skills on Mt Lemmon trails. This “all-mountain” style of riding offers fast descents, technical climbs, swoopy corners, drops & rollers, switchbacks, steep terrain, and off-camber single track. While these trails require a higher level of skill to navigate, they are incredibly rewarding and fun!

PREREQUISITE: MUST BE ABLE TO RIDE FANTASY ISLAND AND/OR STARR PASS TRAIL WITH CONFIDENCE. ACCESS TO A TRAIL MOUNTAIN BIKE (Full Suspension, 5+ Inches of Travel, and Dropper Seat Post Recommended).

The morning agenda will include mountain bike fundamentals and skills, drills to re-enforce the proper form and techniques needed on the trails, and individual feedback from Instructors to help you progress in a safe but challenging way. Before lunch, you will break into smaller groups to take your newfound confidence and skills to the trail!

A healthy and nourishing lunch will be served and is included in the cost of the event. Use this time to speak to Professional Bike Mechanics on hand to answer questions or address any issues you have with your bike. While you enjoy lunch, we will watch videos to break down the core mechanics of mountain biking so you can apply it to your own riding!

Afternoon riding will take place on new sections of trail, where we will safely encourage and instruct progression in your riding and techniques. Shuttles are included and will allow for even more time spent on the trails!
