About this Event
In this 2-hour introductory clinic, we will cover the skill essentials to help your young rider on your path to loving riding bikes on dirt (even on roots and rocks!)
Our INTRO TO MOUNTAIN BIKING clinic is perfect for the beginner rider, or the intermediate rider who wants to refresh foundational skills. By the end of this clinic, you'll be equipped with a solid toolkit to help you tackle beginner singletrack trails confidently and smoothly.
Our local, expert clinic leaders will cover the basics: body position, braking, shifting, and starting and stopping on hills and into cornering. We will keep you moving as much as possible with feedback and encouragement. Clinics are limited to 12 participants so instructors can provide individualized support.
LOCATION: Aldo Leopold Park
EQUIPMENT: At minimum, you'll need a helmet, close-toed footwear, and an operable, maintained basic mountain bike (with front suspension). We will have limited snacks and water available, but please come prepared with your own nutrition and hydration needs, too!

WHAT ARE CORP CLINICS?
Capital Off-Road Pathfinders (CORP) is your local trail organization. CORP builds, maintains, and advocates for trails across south-central Wisconsin. When you attend these clinics, ALL of your proceeds go directly to help CORP build and support more awesome trails in our area.
WHO ARE OUR CLINIC INSTRUCTORS?
Clinic instructors include local youth MTB coaches and local MTB experts/legends...and they're all terrific volunteers who are dedicating their skills and expertise to CORP. You'll have a blast with these fun folk and terrific teachers!

Most mountain bike clinics cost several hundred dollars for a few hours of instruction; we suggest a $25 donation for CORP members, and a $50 donation for non-members. Our instructors are all volunteers, and 100% of your contributions toward our clinics go directly toward building and supporting mountain bike trails in our area!
