You can certainly count me inI suspect that I want another season under my belt to work on basic bike skills, but from what I understand this clinic is great for all-around skills in general. It certainly seems the safest environment for me to get a little taste of mountain biking!

As Catrin said, you'd probably be able to use a demo. Might suggest emailing the Trek demo team in advance to reserve one - assume they will be there and it will be Lindsay. When she was demo-ing at the WI Fall Color Festival, I emailed her in advance (from the Trek women's demo website). She not only reserved the correct size bike for me, but because I'd sent her height/weight, shoe info, she'd set up the suspension, had pedals changed, etc.

You all should come!
Tania of Sub-9 productions has been nice enough to allow me to coach at this clinic the last two years and this is no different!
I will be happy to answer any questions you ladies have.
Demo's will be available and we have always had women that are incredibly new to mountain biking. I coached one older lady that hadn't been on a bike in a few YEARS! She did great.
Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Sounds wonderful! How do we go about reserving a demo bike? I don't have a mountain bike, though I do live close... Originally Posted by TrekJeni

I was hoping you'd be teaching at the clinic again for 2011. I look forward to officially meeting you finally. Originally Posted by TrekJeni

It sounds like you've had a lot going on. We haven't heard much from you on TE in quite the while. I certainly hope it's because you're too busy having the time of your life! Originally Posted by TrekJeni

Want to know who's coaching this year? All of our coaches at the Midwest Women's Mountian Bike Clinic have been certified through the International Mountainbike Instructor Certification (www.beimic.com). We are the only clinic in the U.S. to offer this! Every coach and instructor has been trained by two-time World Masters Downhill Champion and former Red Bull Athlete, Shaums March.
We strive to offer safe, responsible and effective guidance to riders of all skill levels, while also teaching the importance of trail etiquette, safety and advocacy. We feel strongly that our volunteers, coaches and staff will lead the way as advocates for safe, organized and responsible mountain biking.
Be sure to check out our complete list of certified coaches:
