The Experience
We have teamed up with The Dirt Concern to host a beginner Women's MTB Skills Clinic at the Gallatin Valley Regional Park in Bozeman, MT. This event is an easy-entry, welcoming opportunity for women⁺ to come together for a day of skills on bikes. We will have a blast in the sun, learning proper body position, braking techniques, how to corner, and even how to fall! We'll teach you some terminology and let you ask any and all questions that come to mind. We are donating 100% of the proceeds from this event to support a repair and expansion project for our community pump track. Come ride bikes with us and help us raise funds to improve biking opportunities in SW Montana. Women⁺ Skills Clinic Half Day Skills Instruction Skill Level: BEGINNER ***Scholarships available.
