Mountain Bike Clinic

About a week ago I participated in a mountain bike clinic that the race team was putting on. Lee McCormack worked with us for 6 hours to get everyone dialed in and ready for the season. He did a fantastic job! Lee wrote the book on Mastering Mountain Bike Skills. No really, he wrote the book! The guy obviously has amazing bike handling skills but more than that, he knows how to share them with everyone else. He systematically took a group of racers and gave us new skills. Just step by step by step and boom, everyone got it.

We all had a great time and I would highly recommend you or your group take a look at Lee's clinics. They are well worth it! The weather we had for the day wasn't great but everyone had a great time and learned something new. I'm looking forward to getting out on the trail and practicing my new skills! I'm also hoping the team can get him back for the next level clinic.

We were out at the Golden Bike Park for the clinic. It was an outstanding location for the group because we could all work on our skills and Lee could easily see everything and give us pointers. Unfortunately the pump track was a series of lakes, designed without drainage.. really? Anyway, it was a fantastic event.

Trying to stay warm and absorb the knowledge.


Lee systematically stepping us through the process. Our happy little group, ready to hit the dirt.

The weather was moving in near the end of the day but the group was motivated and having fun.
