Thursday Afternoon Skills Rides
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.
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:
