Ladies Mountain Bike Clinic

If you have never ridden, or are a beginner/novice rider and would like to improve your skills our clinics are for you! We will be running a variety of 1 day clinics over the Summer and Fall 2021.  They will focus on 2 groups: one for beginner riders with no previous experience on mountain bike trails and the other for more novice riders who are comfortable on trails and want to improve their skills and progress onto blue trails or start riding on different terrain. You will receive instruction from our PMBI certified instructor to get you rolling for the first time, or clean up your riding and get you feeling more confident on your bike!

If you are looking for different dates or times and have a group of friends get in touch and we can work together arrange a private lesson for you.

Our instructors will get you started by focusing on the foundations of mountain biking, including body position and balance, braking, and cornering, and then build from there.  This is a great choice if you are looking to transition from gravel trails into more cross country riding with climbing and descending.

Our Novice Group will be aimed at riders who have experience riding on green or light blue trails.  We will work on building your skills and confidence to help you improve your riding and work on progression of your skills.  This is a great choice if you are looking to ride more challenging terrain, build your confidence, and get comfortable on a wider array of trail levels.

Price:

• $100/person (there is a 3 person minimum required to run this course)
• If a bike rental is needed, we will provide 50% off rentals from Kelowna Bike Rentals
• We have 1 seat in each group available for on a full scholarship – please contact us directly at info@elevationoutdoors.ca if you are interested or could use some support to help make this course possible for you.

Aug 15, 2021 – 1 Day Clinic @ Knox Mountain for Beginners

Instructor – Rebecca Loncaric

This clinic is focused on new riders that have minimal experience or looking to transition from flat ground into more mountain bike style riding.  Limited group size of 6 to provide lots of instruction for all participants.  This clinic will take place at Knox Mountain to take advantage of the great introductory terrain, and introduce riders to the array of trails located right in the heart of the City. The clinic will run for 5 hours. It will start with a 2 hour skill development session followed by a 1 hour break for food, then finish with another 2 hours of riding and putting your new skills to use.

Our goal is to not only have you develop your skills on a mountain bike, but to help you develop confidence in your own abilities so that you can challenge yourself and push outside your comfort zone to see what you are truly capable of!

The clinic will start at 8:00am in an effort to beat the heat.  Ride from 8:00 am – 10:00 am, take a break for rest/food, then resume for another 2 hours of riding and putting your skills to use on the trails.

• For female identifying riders 19+ looking to learn to mountain bike in a supportive environment
• If providing your own bike, it must have front suspension, disk brakes, and be in good working order.
• Clinic will run at Knox Mountain – Riders will meet our instructor at the Magic Estates Entrance to the park. This allows the time to be spent developing your skills, rather than needing to spend part of the lesson riding up from the parking lot.
