08.12 - Intro to mountain biking

Location

Tomorrow at 7PM, ABC member Derek will be be teaching an introductory
mountain biking class at REI Atlanta (I-85 Expressway). If you’re a newbie, or
just want to learn more about the sport, this is a great place to start.

Find out what to look for when purchasing a new mountain bike or
modifying your existing one. There will also be a discussion about
gear, clothing, safety, and where you can go riding. We will also cover
basic skills like how to balance, climb, descend, corner, brake, and
get past obstacles. This class is intended for novice riders with
little to no experience. Youth ages 10 and older may attend with an
adult.
