Minii Adventures' Park the Bike event: A fun way to learn the fundamentals of trail riding.

Spring has sprung and the trails are starting to thaw.  What better way to take in the sites and sounds of Mother Nature than on a mountain bike? 

Never ridden a mountain bike? No worries. Organizations like Minii Adventures and professional mountain bike instructors like Charlotte Batty host beginner sessions like the one we covered this past weekend at Joyride 150 indoor bike park.  These learn-to-ride sessions are geared for the beginner to help build strong foundations around areas like position, balance, timing, coordination, directions and pressure control. Their ultimate goal is to build your confidence and get you quickly past your first awkward rides of the season.   

Want more information and instruction to help get you out on the trails all summer long?  Below are details for upcoming events planned by Charlotte at Minii Adventures that can be found in our SWSCD Hub.  These clinics give you answers to questions and concerns and help you to find your own line out on the trails. Give it a try. You'll never look back!
