3:00 PM - 6:00 PM    Mountain Biking Skills Ride Club with Wes: Spring Session (Ages 13+) - Mountain Biking Skills Ride Club with Wes: Spring Session (Ages 13+)
Granby Mountain Bike Skills Academy! Join Coach Wes this spring for his popular Adult MTB Skills Outride and progression sessions. This is a relaxed spring ride club where we focus on practicing our skills out on the trails. It is recommended as a minimum requirement to attend the Adult Fundamentals session on Sunday the 16 of March 2025 if you feel you could benefit from it, it is not compulsory but highly recommended. It will definitely set you up for the MTB skills ride club if you are new to Mountain Biking or need to sharpen up your skills. There are also several other clinics being hosted which you can sign up for separately. This regular spring club ride is held over 10 Sundays from March to June. All the dates are listed below. This session is NOT a distance ride and we all ride at a very relaxed pace. We stop frequently and then practice riding different features and lines out on the trails under the guidance of Coach Wes. We ride a range of various features, from very easy to very difficult, but everyone just rides what they can as safely as they can, and Coach Wes is there to guide you and help you. If there is a feature you would rather skip and just watch and learn from then that's great! We are all here to encourage and learn from each other in a no pressure no judgment environment. We do not ride at a fast pace and we stop regularly, no one is ever leftbehind. We ride approximately 2.5 - 5 miles depending on the group and what our goals are for the skills ride. All levels of riders are welcome. We have something for everyone! Coach Wes will demonstrate and explain how to approach and ride all the different features. Rides will be held at SBP, Cowles Park and various other MTB trail riding areas around Granby and surrounds in NW Connecticut. The features we ride will cover the following skills:• Line choice out on the trails• Speed and Approach on corners, climbs and descents.• Technical climbing and descending over roots and rocks• Off camber climbing and Descending• Bridges and Log Rides• Climbing and Descending “Rollahs”• Small Drops & Jumps• And a whole lotta STOKE :)Adult Spring Ride Club Dates March: Sunday the 23rd & 30thApril: Sundays the 6th, 13thMay: Sundays the 4th, 11th, 25th,June: Sundays the 1st, 8th, 15th*There is a $25/person discount for families.
