CycleFit CHICKS 2013 – Mountain Bike CHICKS group
Testimonial from one of our members – Mary Ann Oberthier
What she had to say about her experience in this years MTB CHICKS group.
The Cycle Fit Chicks club expanded to include mountain biking this year and the inaugural season of the “Mountain Bike Chicks” has been a resounding success. Led by Matt Krull from Rated M Biking, the group meets on Wednesday evenings, alternating between two great mountain biking venues in the National Capital Region – Camp Fortune, and South March Highlands (SMH).
The small group of riders (2-6 girls made it out each week) benefited from Matt’s coaching and expertise to improve their technical skills. Matt gave us tips on body position, cornering and riding switchbacks, climbing and descending, and each rider saw great improvements. We even ripped up the pump track at Camp Fortune.
A couple of the ride highlights included an epic ascent of Brian’s trail at Camp Fortune (pictured) and a ride out to Bonk Point at SMH (also pictured). The group still rides until September 12, so come on out if you haven’t yet!
