Tania,

Could you be more specific about how exactly you're revamping the clinic? I see that the beginner's groups meet on Saturday instead of Sunday, but are there more changes contemplated beyond that? FWIW, I was in the introductory group last year at the clinic and am arguably not ready for the intermediate group yet.

I was in the introductory group (never been on a mountain bike trail before) last year and will graduate to the beginner group (having ridden for only one season group) this year I do note that they have more instructors for each group and like how the FAQ page breaks down the skill level differences.
