This lesson will focus on braking, bike management, body position and more.
Private lessons can be tailored to the rider’s specific goals and learning styles, where our knowledgeable coaches will help you reach the next level in your mountain bike journey.
Lessons are offered for any age, but we ask that you already know how to ride a bike with hand brakes and no training wheels.
