We offer skills clinics for women of all skill levels
Scardey Cats Clinics
Our Womens skills clinics consist of the The Scardey Cats clinics. These have been designed for women who in fact call themselves 'scardey cats' when it comes to biking. The women attending the clinics come to learn the fundamental basics including the essentials of body position, braking, gearing and bike fit. Through these basic skills it’s often the case that the women really surprise themselves to realize that mountain biking is fun and very achievable. Our skills base sessions are a perfect stepping stone to feeling confident both mentally and physically. We provide a fun atmosphere and great learning environment and as a result learning to ride becomes really fun rather than scary. The women become really supportive of each other offering constant encouragement and as a coach the immediate friendships, smiles and seeing the ladies sense of achievement is the best part of the experience.Scardey Cats A
