Mountain Biking Clinic For Women

Women who are new to mountain biking or still feel some trepidation when venturing off-road can build their confidence at Skurtzendirt, a women’s mountain-biking clinic Saturday at Farragut State Park.

Registration is from 8 to 9 a.m. at Locust Grove Picnic Area in the park, which is located east of Athol, Idaho, on Highway 54. The park is on the south tip of Lake Pend Oreille, about an hour’s drive from Spokane.

The all-day clinic will focus on bike handling skills and tips for happy trail rides. Afternoon rides will take advantage of the park’s bike-friendly trails and will be geared to a range of riding abilities.

A $30 entry fee covers T-shirts, lunch, snacks, event insurance and a Skurtzendirt manual. Participants need to bring a bike and helmet.

For more information, leave a message at (208) 664-0654 today before 7 p.m.
