3-day mtb Better Ride clinic in Nashville, TN
I've already posted this to mtbr.com (nothing personal - I didn't know this board existed until this week) Riding and Training, but I've had the suggestion to put it here as well. I'm putting together BetterRide clinic in Nashville, TN.
This recent thread (http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=49361) and an off-board conversation with Gene Hamilton has me intrigued enough to put together a 3-day Better Ride mountain bike skill clinic taught by Gene (http://www.betterride.net).
$300 for the 3-day clinic, 5 people minimum, 7 max, and I'm in for the first slot. I believe it will be a half days in the parking lot observing our current skills and working on drills and then hit the trails. Nashville has several good trails and I'm planning on using Lock 4 for its flow and then Hamilton Creek for rocky, rooty technical work. Scheduled for November 19-21.
It's co-ed and highly skill based - physical AND mental. Check out the recent mtb camps thread here in mtbr.com Women's Lounge for some of Gene's most recent replies.
For those of us in the SouthEast who can't easily make it to Fruita, CO, this is our chance. The clinic is usually $250 and the extra will cover his travel expenses. If you're close to Nashville, that's a heck of a good "fare" versus trying to make it to CO.
I have no financial tie to Gene and Better Ride other than I'm going to pay him for lessons.
But I can't float it alone, and I'd love to meet some more mountainbikers.
Please contact me if you're interested.
I hope this doesn't constitute SPAM; it's intended to be a public announcement.
Thanks all, lets ride!
