This weekend is designed for beginner and intermediate mountain bikers — and you don't have to be a coach to get something out of it! If you love riding and want to become a smarter, safer, more confident rider, this weekend is for you.

Skills Day is led by us at TrailWorks and is all about building strong fundamentals and breaking through plateaus. You'll work through cornering, braking, obstacle navigation, body positioning, wheel lifts, and more. Expect to progress fast and have a blast doing it!

First Aid Day is led by two instructors from Backcountry Medical Guides and is built specifically for mountain bikers. You'll go through hands-on scenario training covering the injuries and emergencies most likely to happen on trail — trauma, fractures, environmental emergencies, and more. No riding on this day, just practical, real-world skills that could make all the difference out there.

We have a max limit of 20 riders. Groups will split up. Day 1 while a group is learning bike skills, the other group will be more stationary and focus on first aid skills. Day 2 , you switch. If you have a friend that’s taking the course too - let us know and we will pair you up!

Here's what to pack each day:

• A working bike — properly functioning and trail-ready (required)
• Helmet — mandatory, no exceptions
• Protective gear — knee pads, elbow pads, and gloves are highly recommended
• Lunch, snacks, and water
• Weather-appropriate clothing and closed-toe shoes
• Sunscreen

• ✅ CPR/AED — Adult, Child & Infant (valid for 2 years)
• ✅ Basic First Aid (valid for 2 years)

Nope! The first aid training is designed to be practical and accessible for everyday riders. No medical background needed — just show up ready to learn and take it all in.

Not at all! While the content is great for beginner and intermediate coaches, anyone who loves riding and wants to ride smarter and safer will get a ton of value out of this weekend. Come as you are!
