Women’s Mountain Bike Skills Clinic & Ride!
Mountain Bike Skills Clinic for Women
with World Champion Shonny Vanlandingham!
Shonny won the 2010 XTERRA World Championship!
Before her switch to XTERRA, she had the most wins in NORBA National Series history, men or women.
Shonny is a member of the LUNA Chix Pro Team.
(AND, she is really awesome and fun to meet in person!)
We will meet at The Kickstand with our bikes at 8:30am.
Prior to riding, we will review important basics
@ The Kickstand (with your bike) including:
1. Proper fit and stance on a mountain bike
2. Gear, safety, comfort and fuel
3. Basic bike handling skills
(at a nearby park…we will ride there…less than 5 minutes away!)
From there we will enjoy a mellow ride for about 45 minutes to an hour. My intention for the clinic is for you to feel more confident and comfortable on your bike and on the trail!
Please RSVP and send questions to the email below. The clinic is free.
(Weather and Trail status permitting.)
