DISCLAIMER: YOU MUST BE GOING TO CREEKATHON TO SIGN UP FOR THIS TRIP!!! (aka sign up for the main trip first)
Have you been wanting to improve your mtb skills??!! Have you been wanting to shred so hard that you go pro?! Have you been wanting to learn how to do a triple backflip on the bike into the Walnut Creek Lake?! Me too.
Well, I’ve got the trip for you! We will learn and practice proper bike position for steep downhills, getting over roots and logs, cornering, braking techniques, ratcheting the pedals, and looking steezy. This trip is for beginners and intermediate riders. However, even the most advanced rider can always benefit from practicing the fundamentals. We will be doing a lot of work in the grass and a little in the woods, so you should know and be comfortable riding a bike, and preferably have gone on at least one mountain bike ride. But if not, that’s okay! You will still learn lots of skills and be so ready to go on a mtb ride after this!
The plan-
11am: get on bikes
11-12:15pm: learn all the skillz
12:15pm: go back to the pavilion and eat lunch and go on more trips! (and use your super cool new learned skillz)
What to bring-
Closed-toed shoes
Some water (and a bag to carry it in)
Gloves to protect ya hands (optional)
Open mind to learn lots of new things!
Can’t wait to learn to shred with y’all!
