Free Mountain Biking Skills Clinic

To all those who would like to take some actual instruction on basic mountain biking techniques there is a free class that you need to know about. CORBA - the concerned offroad bikers association holds monthly free beginning mountain biking clinics the first saturday of every month at Malibu Creek State Park.

NEXT CLASS Saturday November 6, 2010 8:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.

We here at Outdoors Los Angeles took the class over a year ago and learned quite a lot. That was before we had clip in petals. We just might take the class again with pedals to see if we can avoid falling while going down the stairs this time.

The instruction was top notch and they even provided us with air and lube for our bikes.
