Come out to Cunningham Park and learn some techniques and bike handling skills that will get you ready for your first time on the trail. (And also make you a better road rider!) This class will be held in the parking lot, and grassy areas of the park, so feel free to come with your hybrid, or commuter bike. (Of course, feel free to bring your mountain bike if you have one.) 

We will learn how to use balance and movement on the bike, slow speed bike handling skills, getting over obstacles, braking and turning off road, and climbing and descending tips and tricks. This is a fun class, it will challenge you, but after the class, you should be able to be a lot more confident and comfortable being ready to try your first trail ride! 

The class will run a couple of hours, from 10-12ish, with an optional loop on the mountain bike trails at Cunningham park after the class.

Things to bring:

Your Hybrid, Commuter or mountain bike, (pretty much any bike with flat bars, and no skinny road tires)

Your Helmet (required) and gloves (recommended)

Water and snacks, as we will be in the park the whole time. 

For those who are interested, after the class, I will be more than happy to take anyone (or everyone!) over to the mountain bike trails in Cunningham Park, for some fun and exploration. We will be taking the beginner trails, and will be trying out the stuff we learned!
