Spring/Summer GBNEMBA MTB101/102

Novice "Practice Your Technique" Ride Series / Clinics

GBNEMBA  is sponsoring a series of two-day beginner mountain bike clinics/rides this spring and summer.  For those of you newbies (or roadies) who own a mountain bike but would like some instruction or want to brush up on off-road technique, this is for you.  Also, please do forward this to any friends, family, colleagues, etc.  who might like to join us-- it is open to anyone with a functioning mountain bike (and helmet, of course).

The format will include some short intro discussion, and then we will go off-road to ride and work on basic biking skills:  handling, braking, cornering, picking a line, dealing with rough terrain, how to be a good steward of the trails and a safe mountain biker, etc.

The schedule for this ride series is still under development so check back soon to see dates.
