27 Sep Spring Mountain Bike Clinic – May 8-10, 2026
Gear up for an awesome summer of riding!
Friday, May 8 – Sunday, May 10, 2026
Join us for an early season mountain bike clinic! If you want to improve your mountain biking and get a head start on the season, there’s no better place to do it than in the mountains on the Nipika / Cross River Canyon Recreation Site trail network.
Throughout the weekend clinic, guests will work on fundamental skills and maneuvers, go on group rides with instructors, and cover bike maintenance.
Expect group teaching with individualized instruction.
Who should attend the mountain bike clinic?
Anyone who is keen to learn how to become a better mountain biker and/or wants time in the saddle this spring!
We welcome all skill levels, primarily focussed on beginner and intermediate riders. Participants will be split into groups according to skill and comfort level. Lessons and rides will be adjusted accordingly.
What is included?
This camp includes accommodation in our log cabins, meals from Friday night dinner to Sunday lunch, mountain bike instruction, and guided rides.
(Please let us know of any dietary restrictions.)
What do you need to bring?
Bring your mountain bike, helmet, and any other gear you usually ride with; attire for firepits and saunas; and any adult beverages you want for evening socials.
What else is there to look forward to?
Nipika is set amid the Cross River Canyon Recreation Site, with trails for all ages and abilities perfect for biking, hiking, and trail running.
There will be free time to enjoy the trails, the refreshing pond, disc golf course, sauna, and relaxing on the property.
The log cabins are well-appointed with beautiful views from the covered porches. And meals will be nutritious and delicious!
