Women's Clinic with Kristy Lanier |
|
September 11-13 Sue Haywood and Kristy Lanier will lead a fun, challenging and pampering weekend!
The Staff at Elk River has been offering women’s specific clinics and
tours for over fifteen years. We have been fortunate to work with
several of the top women racers and instructors in the sport. In a
classroom of lush eastern singletrack, we’ll build on basic techniques,
confidence and having fun!!
Day One - Arrival Arrive in time to ride by 3pm
Arrive at Elk
River in Slatyfork, shake the highway out of your system, and settle
into one of our charming B&B rooms. If renting a bike, you will be
fitted at this time. At 3 pm, we’ll get together to meet the rest of
the group, swap a few stories about how, why and where each of us got
into the sport, and try to learn each other’s name. We will check bike
and helmet fit, and then try some instructional exercises: fun,
informative techniques practiced to make the more complicated skills
simpler. Then we’ll head out for a short ride nearby (6 miles) to put
our newly learned skills into practice, and then back to the inn to
clean up and socialize before dinner.
Day Two
Coffee
and breakfast at 8am, and then we’ll load the van and shuttle to a
local trailhead. We’ll ride a total of about 15-20 miles today, taking
several breaks for rest and instructional tips. Lunch will be packed
and carried so that you may snack all day at your leisure. We’ll finish
out the trail and come back to the center by 4-5 pm, leaving you free
to hot tub, nap, chat and clean up for dinner on the deck. Either
before or after dinner we’ll discuss some of the basics of bike
mechanics.
Day Three
Another
tasty breakfast starts our day out right, and we’ll load the van to
shuttle part of the way up the mountain. Climb up, drop in, and we’ll
hit the singletrack. A fun downhill and ride back to the center will
put us at about 10 miles today. Clean and pack up before getting
together for a sumptuous lunch buffet, exchanging addresses and
snapshots. We are usually finished and saying our goodbyes between 1-2
pm.
