Bike Skills 201 -- Climbing + Descending Skills
Bike Skills 201 is a continuation of what you’ve learned in Bike Skills 101. In this 4-hour co-ed clinic, we’ll teach you how to climb like a pro – seated climbs, standing climbs, short climbs, steep climbs, extended climbs. And then, we’ll teach you how to come back down again, focusing on a fast straight descent, and then a technical switchbacky descent. Pre-requisite: Bike Skills 101.
This is an outside, on-the-bike clinic. You will need to provide your own bike, helmet, and cycling clothes.
