I cannot say enough good things about Rise and Ride and Coach Richelle. She has an amazing talent of making all feel welcome and capable. In a group of 6 I was amazed at how she was always able to find the “just right” challenge for all of us to learn, yet never feel unsafe. Much of that is due to Richelle’s ability to explain and demo each skill in a way that we could all understand. In my four week course I learned an incredible amount and feel so much more confident on my bike. I also feel like I’ve found a lifelong passion in mountain biking thanks to this course. If you’re on the fence - TAKE THE COURSE (I promise you will be so happy you did it)!

Mandatory Gear List for Clinics

THE ESSENTIALS:

  • mountain bike (no fat bikes or other bikes please) in good working order.

    • please have a tune up PRIOR to the start of the first session. Gears and brakes in working order.

  • bike helmet – fits properly and is no more than 5 years old

  • appropriate riding clothing such as cycling shorts and jersey

  • appropriate foot wear (we recommend a MTB shoe such as a Ride Concept with a  flat, soft, sticky sole). Running shoes are not ideal. 

  • full fingered bike gloves

ADULTS ONLY (add-ons):

  • bear spray 

  • full charged cell phone

  • flat tire repair kit

    • tire levers

    • a spare tube - even if your bike is set up with tubeless tires, it is a good idea to carry a tube as a backup.
