DORBA Women's Clinic HAS MOVED to new location

This Clinic has MOVED to Big Cedar Wilderness Trail, in south Dallas County, because the trail originally planned, Harry Moss, is closed due to mud.

Go to 7532 Saddleridge, Dallas Texas, park in the parking lot, and ride/walk down the hill past the trailhead, where the clinic will take place, on either side of the dirt road under the shade trees.

Big Cedar is the largest trail system in Texas. It has a reputation for being difficult, much of it it, but there are miles of beginner trails.

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.

Jen needs volunteers to help her make this clinic a successful one, but women-only volunteers, please.

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.

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!)

Please download, print, sign, and bring with you the following required DORBA Event Waiver: http://files.meetup.com/3841722/NEW-WAIVER.pdf We will have a few there if you forget. Please don't.

Weather: This clinic is dependent upon good weather and trail conditions. CHECK THIS POST THE MORNING OF THE CLINIC for any postponements or cancellations.
