Learn to Mountain Bike

Have you heard about our legendary mountain bike trail network?  Are your students hungry to get out on the trails?  You'd think riding a bike on the trails is like riding in the city, but it's not.  Knowing mountain bike skills and how to get the most out of your bike will make it easier to get started and allow you to go longer!  This introduction to mountain biking includes:

  • a standard bike check to confirm safe operation

  • a graduated approach to trail difficulty
