Advertisement

Have you attended our Level 1 and 2 beginner’s course and are ready to add more fundamental skills? If so, join

our BICP certified mountain bike instructor, Ranger Rick, at the Limekiln trailhead to learn the basics of slow riding,

obstacle avoidance, and cornering. In the Beginner’s Level 3 course, you’ll learn:

? Riding straight lines (preparation for narrow trails and features)

? Ratcheting (riding slowly and avoiding pedal strikes)

? Riding small circles

? Riding switchbacks

? Rock dodge maneuver

? Cornering

? Roll downs off of features

You will learn these skills at the Limekiln Trailhead parking lot to give you a safe surface to learn on prior to getting on

the dirt. After each skill has been thoroughly explained and demonstrated by the instructors, you be given plenty of

practice time in the parking lot with the instructors helping you improve with each repetition. After lesson is over, head

out onto our trails to practice and hone your new skills!

This program is intended for novice riders and recommended for ages 14 and up. For the safety of the group and flow of

the lesson, no riders under the age of 14 will be permitted. Helmets are mandatory and bring plenty of water. Attendance

of the Beginner’s Level 1 and 2 lessons is not mandatory, but highly recommended if you do not already possess those

basic skills. This program is weather and trail conditions permitting and is limited to 6 slots. Register on CPW Connect.

You will be notified in the case of any changes or cancellations. Free event, park pass required.
