2011 Midwest Women's Mountain Bike Clinic

[Catrin]

Is it wise to attempt the mountain bike clinic if you've had a really bad spill on a mb that has made you deathly afraid of it???? Hmmmmm. I'd really like to be able to do some light mb'ing with my boyfriend as he LOVES it, but I'm still terrified.

Winding Road - I know some of the instructors and they are quite good and very supportive. I think this would be the safest/best way of getting back on the mountain bike. It is totally focused on women - and ya know - sometimes we learn in different ways than men, and sometimes not. All of the instructors are certified, and they just had their own clinic as a refresher.

This is why I am going to the clinic, I figure it is the safest way for me to learn the very basic skills I need and they will be there to help me learn them in the safest possible way. Sure I am nervous about it, but it will be fun!

Go for it - and we can all be scared together
