Hi there.
I just got a flyer from REI offering various outdoor classes and outings with a training theme to them -- Learn camping skills, GPS navigation, and such.
They have a few beginner and intermediate mountainbiking outings coming up soon. I was thinking of taking one as a "refresher" course. I haven't been on my bike in over a year, and I stink majorly at it. I know my bike is 10 times better than I am a rider, and I'd like to be able to ride it with more confidence again. I did fine on my hardtail, but now I have a fully that I just don't ride enough to be familiar with.
Has anyone taken any of these training classes? Are they worth it?
Thanks for any input.
