This will be a fun day! We will have our whole lineup of fat, mid-fat and non-fat full suspension mountain demo bikes available for you to ride as well as the mix of Trek Stache and Farley bikes from our local Trek Rep, Barrett Ladd. I addition, we will bring out our Pedego Electric path bikes (not for mountain riding) for test rides through the main path of Jordan Creek Parkway. Sign up on our Meetup http://www.meetup.com/Fc-Cycling-Club/events/231417566/
All participants must have a helmet, drivers license and should bring their own pedals. You will sign a ride waiver and if you are under 18 you must have a parent with you. Demo rides are limited to 20 minutes per bike.
Along with a sweet bike demo day, we will be holding beginner mountain bike skills clinics throughout the day. You can bring your own bike for this as it is better to learn a new skill on a bike you are familiar with. We will have 3 different clinic times throughout the event starting at 11, 12 and 1. Each of these clinics will help riders learn to:
• Ride skinny's - we will set up small skinny bridges along the trail to practice picking a line and staying on it.
• Cornering - techniques to help you come into a turn, ride through the turn, and exit the turn with more speed and control
• Log-overs - a 2 foot high log-over can be intimidating but it is easier to tackle than you think. We will show you how
• Technical hill climbs - Jordan offers a variety of terrain, including some rocky climbs. We will go on 1 or 2 and teach proper gearing and body position to get you up the hill.
Bring a friend and be ready to have some fun. We will be running day-of promotions on bike purchases if you like what you rode.
