mtb camps

[Irulan]

ok, gals.. need your help.
I'm compiling a list of women's bike camps for a new page on my web site. Any additions with or without personal comments would be appreciated.

Are you accepting women only camps or are coed camps allowed? The Bike Lane in Burke, VA runs a coed mtb boot camp. I did it a few years ago, and it was absolutely great (mostly women too, I think because women in general would rather learn a few skills in such a setting than injure themselves on the trail winging it, but men are allowed). They list a schedule on their website, www.thebikelane.com. My local mtb club recently did an intermediate/advanced clinic, it was mostly men, but also very helpful. They are planning some beginner clinics too. Their website is www.more-mtb.org.

thanks, with such a glowing recommendation how could I NOT post those. If they are just coed I just put a
note in the listing.

I"m familiar with MORE ( what a great club) but I didn't see any clinic info on their site?

one of my coaches said this about men and skills camp....The ones who need to do this never come, as they know it all already. The guys who do come are really great as they know they don't know it all.

Hi Irulan! I am now in Rossland for the ski season, I'll be here following the season too, and I have brought my bike. So I'm interested in doing one of the Divine camps. A friend pointed her out on the slopes the other day, so I'm hoping to meet her and some more mtb chics. Would be great to catch you too if you head up here for a ski sometime, as I think you ski at Red? Let me know and maybe I'll email you more details! Here's a pic of me clowning through the trees the other day....I really need to brush up on my powder skiing!



And at the end of the day down Long Squaw

Kristy Exner of Devine ride also does ski camps.

We are still riding down here if you can beleive that, but it's cold. If you ever come down for a show or ?? let me know.

Irulan, not sure if you still update your camp page, but found a new one at
http://womensmountainbikecamp.com/coaches_mstreb.php

I went to your page first, then searched a little more.
