Another fantastic clinic in Christchurch! This group of beginners was eager to learn in addition to feeling nervous about taking on mountain biking. They all came through the day very well and were totally fizzing at the end of the clinic! They rolled away with more tools to use and a few are eager to buy new bikes!
Thanks to coach @jamiescott_mtb for creating an environment for these women to safely learn to ride their bikes!
Our beginner clinic in Christchurch last weekend focused on body position for descending, how to ride over small roots and down gentle slopes.
They were all elated to ride obstacles and trails they would never have done otherwise, in an environment they’ve never gone to. We expect that when they return to their familiar trails, they will suddenly find they are much easier to ride. We’ve already heard from a couple of them that they are going to invest in a newer bike! We are stoked to get more women on their bikes!
