This Sunday, July 5, MTB Girls Ride Club and MTB Girls Magazine invite women from across Northern California to celebrate freedom, confidence, and community during a special Women’s Mountain Bike Skills Clinic at beautiful China Camp State Park.
There’s something incredibly empowering about celebrating independence on a mountain bike.
Whether you’re just beginning your mountain biking journey, looking to improve your trail skills, or preparing for upcoming races and adventures, this clinic is designed to help you become a stronger, more confident rider in a welcoming environment where women encourage one another every step of the way.
More Than Just a Skills Clinic
Mountain biking is about far more than riding trails. It’s about discovering what you’re capable of.
Every obstacle you overcome, every switchback you conquer, and every climb you complete builds confidence that extends well beyond the trail.
Our coaching philosophy focuses on progression—not perfection.
Throughout the clinic, riders will work on practical skills they can immediately apply during everyday rides, including:
- Body position and bike balance
- Cornering and switchbacks
- Climbing and descending technique
- Braking control and traction
- Flow and carrying momentum
- Vision and trail awareness
- Confidence-building and mindset
- Riding with greater calm, control, and predictability
With personalized coaching and hands-on instruction, every rider receives feedback tailored to her individual goals and experience level.
