Route

We will start at the south side of the pond in Greenwood Park. The first part of the clinic will cover the basics in an open grass field. For the second part of the clinic we will ride the paved bike path down to the trailhead of J-11. We’ll take J-11 to Denman’s and ride through Denman’s, stopping at various obstacles for instruction and practice. The pace of the ride will be slow so please be patient and please do not worry about getting left behind because nobody will get left behind!
