2010 Midwest Women's Mountain Bike Clinic

[Miranda]

Part of me wants to go to this so bad! I really need the skills help. But, my shoulder from my road bike crash last Fall is only held together with scar tissue now. If I crash on it I am toast *sigh*. And there is always some crashing in mtb. Well, that's what the skills clinic would be for... to improve on my rate of crashing to riding ratio lol.

EDIT ADD: OK, in looking at the skill levels listed, I think I'm still beginner. The pics of obstacles, I know how to do part of them. It's just certain things at a beginner level I can't seem to figure out how to negotiate through, i.e. rock garden piles coupled w/roots going up-hill on a curve/switchback... lol I dunno wth I'm doing... except for certain that crashing into rock piles HURTS.

OK... if this link works, this is what I'm talking about... usually me and the bike end up in a bloody bruised mess right along with the rocks in the pile...
