Drop In Rides & Clinics

Our welcoming & experienced coaches truly enjoy teaching teenage riders the fundamental skills that help them progress their riding.

These rides explore singletrack trails throughout our extensive local trail network. Many rides will begin as a shuttle to allow the group to ride back to LOGE; this increases variety and usually allows a net loss of elevation.

Participants are expected to have experience on trails, a working mountain bike, and a desire to improve their riding.

We emphasize trail etiquette, offer lots of tips & encouragement on every ride and match the pace to the least experienced riders in the group to ensure everyone has a positive experience. Groups will be based on two coaches for every 6 – 8 riders.

Riders must have some experience riding on trails, their own bike, and a desire to improve
Skills-based Group Rides with Trained Coaches
PMBIA-based teaching methods enable progressions for every individual within a group
A respectful environment develops relationships to allow fellow riders to become friends and friends become teammates!

GROUP RIDES to Develop SKILLS & TEAMWORK

Riders will want to ride at different speeds on different kinds of bikes on different trails, therefore we break into groups each day that accommodate as many preferences as we can.

Goals for our middle & high school group include:

Flexible ride schedule: you choose the dates that work for you!
Develop skills on a variety of trails and terrain
Introduction & Development of the fundamental skills of mountain biking
Enjoy riding bikes after school
Practice proper trail etiquette and group riding habits
Staff on site will help new riders find an appropriate group while returning riders can continue their skills progressions with their coaches.Create a respectful environment where fellow riders become friends and friends become teammates
