MOUNTAIN BIKING -- Fat tire bike riders are gearing up for the annual Mountain Biking Skills Clinic -- for novice and experienced riders --  organized by the Spokane Mountaineers.

The event is June 11 and 12 on a special skills course to be set up at Riverside State Park.

Riders who have taken this course are always amazed at how many little tricks there are to learn, and how beneficial a bit of focused practice can be to their overall riding skills, safety and enjoyment.

The registration fee is $40. Registration deadline is June 8, but class size is limited so register ASAP.

Check out details on the clinic.
