February, 2014 Bikeskills Skills Clinic at Rockville

February 25, 2014 by jasonvh Leave a Comment

Kevin makes his way through a rock garden at Rockville. He made amazing progress in the last year.

We’re posting a lot more photos than usual this month, mainly because we love how pretty it is at Rockville Park! What it lacks in overall mileage, it more than makes up for with its landscape and diversity of terrain.  Rockville Park serves up some of the most technical and advanced singletrack in the area, perfect for learning, practicing and applying new skills.

Rockville is a horrible place to ride. (not really!)

Our January date was pushed back a few weeks due to rain, but our February date on the trails featured great trail conditions. We can certainly use a bit more rain out at Tamarancho, with trail building efforts on the new flow trail close to being finished. If you haven’t ridden out at Tamarancho before, join us for a clinic, or just come check it out! [Read more…]

November 11 Tamarancho Clinic Gallery

December 2, 2012 by jasonvh Leave a Comment

We’re getting our first major downpour of precipitation here in the Bay Area, and our indian summer is now definitely a thing of the past. On the flip side, it’s the perfect time to change a routine that has possibly gotten a bit stale. For us it’s time to tap into our indoor options a bit more, hit the climbing wall or the gym, and get our latest gallery posted. This one is from our recent November skills clinic at Camp Tamarancho. As you can see, the weather was amazing, and it was a great day to be on the trail working on new skills with great group of enthusiastic riders.

 

On a side note, our next clinic is now posted and open for registration! Unless it’s dumping, (in this event, we’ll reschedule) we’ll be talking more about techniques for conquering wet roots and rocks this time around.

If you did a clinic with us this year already, we’re changing up the format a bit so folks can repeat the classes. Stay tuned for more details!
