The clinic will be a flat ground session working on your posture, body language, and braking skills. These skills will make you a smoother and more confident rider, especially when the terrain gets tricky.

After the flat ground session we will do a group ride along the junior race course, stopping at certain sections to practice the skills in a trail environment; followed by a rest and then a fun ride along Switchback.

This will be a great chance for D group (and even C group) riders to improve their riding foundation and to see some of the trails Camp Fortune offers.

The clinic and guided ride will be free for OMBA members; however a trail pass for Camp Fortune is required. A day pass is and available from the First Aid hut in the lower parking lot.
