The session clinic is to help you learn the basic fundamentals and skills, and then practice giving you the confidence to go out and ride your “bike in the mountains”. The clinic will be geared towards seniors, never-Evers or beginners. You will need to bring your own bike or a rental bike and know how to ride it. A helmet is required!

Before you sign up, Steven will help you determine if the clinic is appropriate for you. He will ask about your health status, experience, fitness level , expectations and risk tolerance. Based on your information I may advise you to schedule a small group or one on one lesson.
