DORBA Women's Beginner Clinic

DORBA will have a new beginner clinic on Sunday September 13th at Harry Moss Park at 8:30 AM. This will be a women students only clinic. Sorry guys, you will have to wait till October for the next coed one.

Women, you might consider coming to this clinic even if you have already taken the beginner clinic, and even if you are not really still a newbie. You will get women-specific pointers on mountain biking.

Jen Ragan-Marlowe will be your instructor, post up your questions below, if you have any questions. Jen is the instructor who I took over for, over 12 years ago.

What: There is a "classroom" for about an hour, a mini-skills workshop for 30-45 minutes minutes, and then a ride of an hour or more. So count on approximately 3 hours. Beginner Clinics will consist of basic instruction including bike setup, safety, trail etiquette, bike handling skills such as braking, shifting, riding position, steering, momentum, cornering, and rolling over small obstacles, etc.

Who: The clinic is recommended for riders new to the sport. If you have never ridden a Mountain Bike before or have just started out riding, then this is for you.

Where: Harry Moss Website & Map (http://dorba.org/trail.php?t=12)

Requirements: You do NOT need to be a DORBA member to attend. We DO require that you bring and use your helmet, bring water, and a small snack that fits in your pocket. And yes, you need to bring your own bike (I get asked!)
