Instructors will start by addressing proper bike fit, making necessary adjustments to improve comfort and performance. Next they\’ll demonstrate riding techniques and teach important communication and safety skills to prepare you for the ride. They\’ll teach you the trail etiquette techniques that mountain bikers can use to help keep trails open and safe for all trail users. Then it’s off for a great ride to practice all the skills you’ve learned. Novara mountain bikes provided at no additional cost for those without a bike of their own.
