Home Grown Mountain Biking Tours is stoked to present… HG Ladies Clinic at 50 Year!
This clinic is OPEN TO ALL LEVELS! Small groups will be selected based on ability level and experience. Professional Mountain Bike Instructors will provide a safe environment to progress your abilities on the bike, and help you apply those skills on the trail. This “all-mountain” style of riding offers fast descents, technical climbs, swoopy corners, drops & rollers, switchbacks, steep terrain, loose dirt and rocks, and off-camber single track. While these trails require a higher level of skill to navigate, they are incredibly rewarding and fun!
