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.

I'll likely be terrified, too, so we can be in it together WR! If you want to get back on the horse so to speak, it seems to me that the clinic might be the way to go.

AND they have intermediate and advanced training! You can't tell I am really looking forward to this, can you?

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. Originally Posted by WindingRoad

Go for it - and we can all be scared together

I've had a few bad wrecks, and there's nothing like going back to the basics, at a level YOU feel comfortable at ( which might be level one, whatever) to rebuild confidence. Originally Posted by Catrin

Can't plan for that soon, and I don't have enough vacation...but maybe next year. I need to find a legit clinic here though.
(Did a little archaeology work in that town (wasn't there long) but it'd be fun to go back someday!)

OK IndySteel and Catrin I hope I don't die. At least when I wipe out this time I will have friends there to help me out the sticker bushes.
I'm planning for it. It's only one day for beginners right?

There should be lots in Boulder. I think Lunachix does them but I am not sure. Originally Posted by jessmarimba
