Wes updated logo for MTN Biking
Join Coach Wes this summer for an epic mountain biking skills and trail riding adventure camp! Coach Wes has organized several weeks of MTB fun. From trailside repair clinics, jump sessions, and epic outrides to our local forests and ride areas with skills drills and obstacle courses. There will be something to learn and a new place to explore throughout each week. Each week flows into the next, and we progressively learn more as we go. This camp includes professional instruction, in an all inclusive, relaxed and encouraging setting. Coach Wes practices "challenge by choice" and will always be right there to guide and assist all the way. Each day is 3 1/2 hours. 

Participants need to be relatively fit enough to ride approximately 5-10 miles at a slow and relaxed pace with frequent stops over a 3 hour period. Participants need to have pre-arranged transport to and pickup from ride venues. "Waiver Required."

What to bring:
*Bike in good working condition (we do not have time to fix bikes)
*Helmet & Gloves (no helmet, no ride)
*Flat pedals and shoes/Clips and cleats (we highly recommend learning new skills with flats, but if you are comfortable in clips then that's also ok)
*Drinks & Snacks- bring enough as it is a long morning (small backpack recommended)
*Bug Spray and Sunscreen
*If you have any knee guards, shin guards, elbow guards then you are also welcome to bring them too and use them when you feel the need (I will be wearing knee guards/shin pads)
*On Wednesdays, Coach Wes makes a barbecue and grills some hot dogs/burgers- the cost is $10 paid to him. Alternatively, parents can provide their own lunch materials
