DORBA will have a new beginner clinic on Saturday January 17th at Big Cedar Wilderness Trail, in south Dallas County, at 1:30 PM.

Chris Mann will be your instructor, you can send him a private message at "landcruiser" on the Dorba.org website, if you have any questions, or better yet, just post up your questions below.

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.
