Weekly – Strong Intermediate Program
This weekly course is for women that have been riding for few years that are comfortable on blue trails and some black runs. The rider must have strong intermediate riding skills and are looking to add style and flair to their riding.
This course is once per week for four or five consecutive weeks. During each week we will focus on a different maneuverer. The lesson will start with a skills development followed by a trail ride to apply what we’ve learned.
Our weekly strong intermediate program is the perfect way to improve your skills, add some style to your riding, be more confident on your bike, and have fun while connecting with like-minded Shred Sisters.

Testimonial
Would recommend it to anyone!
I’ve been mountain biking for about 6 years but never had real instruction on how to do things, so I kind of bashed my way through a lot. Now I have the tools to stop bashing through stuff as much! I’m more confident on drops and I’m getting more air on jumps.

I was always afraid of the bike park. Skinnies, teeter totters, jumps those were the realm of the ‘expert’ riders or the crazy kids who have no fear of getting hurt! After my weekend course I find myself looking for features to roll over, ride off of or jump. I am already planning my next session to keep learning more! Mountain Biking is now more than just following friends on trails. Thanks Shred Sisters!
