The Lesson Plan for the day includes the following:

Camp Schedule

• Check-in, bike inspection, equipment requirements/recommendations
• Group warm-up ride
• Skills & Drills Clinic
• Dirt-Crit Race
• Single-track group trail ride

The Camp will begin with check-in, bike inspection, and equipment discussion.  We will inspect your bike and equipment to make sure it is ready to ride and safe; please note that helmets are required, thanks!  After we complete a short warm-up ride, Camp will roll right into the Skills Clinic.  The Skills Clinic will include a series of drills designed to help riders improve their bike handling techniques and efficiency.  Following the “skills and drills” session, you will get a chance to test-drive those new-found skills at the practice dirt-crit race...it’s short…it’s fun…it’s fast!  Then, you will get to enjoy the single-track trails of Granite Bay on the fun group ride.  So, if you want to get better on the mountain bike, the TBF MTB Camp is for you!
