Prerequites: Own a “real” Mountain Bike: Wheel size does not matter. It must be a bike that is designed for “technical” trail riding. Suspension prefered, although, not mandatory. Many expert riders ride “rigid” forks. However, if you are a beginner, I may suggest minimum of front suspension. Please come prepared with water, snacks, and the tools to change a flat tire. This does not include the skill.
Be able to ride a minimum of 1 Hour on trails in the Foothills

April 24th we will meet at Tierra Trails in Santa Fe to Pre Ride the Category 3 Bike Course for the race on 4.28.2018. All Participants will receive a discounted entry for the race, and if you register in the nest 2 weeks, a free cycling jersey!! A 60.00 dollar value! Commit today!!
In these classes we will continue to work on any skills that will help you feel more comfortable on the bike. Each week we will go further, and advance our skills, to individual participants. We will work on weighting and un-weighting the bike, looking ahead, climbing, and descending, as well, as turning through the apex of a turn.
My goal is to grow the sport, through participation, while instilling confidence, to encourage participants to race Mountain Bikes. This 4 week clinic is timed to encourage participants to race in the Tierra Torture Mountain Bike race in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
