Mountain Biking Skills Free Clinic!

THIS IS A NO HOST EVENT! (This is not a SoCalB3 event. This is an event hosted by the fine folks at CORBA which I think is a great event for riders of all levels.) NOTE: This event is being cross posted since CORBA has also joined Meetup. The verbiage hereinbelow are derived directly from their Meetup event posting. I am also including a link to their event since your have your RSVP here alone doesn't guarantee a spot unless you RSVP on their event as well. It is also important to note that your RSVP on their event includes an ACCIDENT WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY required by their insurer. Please read it carefully before deciding to participate. https://www.meetup.com/corbamtb/events/286526798
