1st Meeting & Ride!

Our first meeting is this Wednesday Aug. 22 @ 8:15 in Mr. Linnenberger's Room (B118). We look forward to seeing all of you there, old faces and new. Expect the meeting to run for about one hour, but if you need to leave early for help during tutor time just let us know.

Also Wednesday afternoon will be our first official practice. If you want to ride with us bring your bike and all other attire you use for riding; shoes (must cover toes), helmet, water (lots, hydration pack suggested), food (easy to eat on bike, energy gels, fruit, etc.), and bring sunscreen. We will provide necessary tools for changing flats, extra water (just in case), first aid, tools for quick trail fixes, and our smiling faces.

Before you can ride you must fill out a waiver, these can be found on Mr. Linneberger's website here.
We all are looking forward to seeing everyone that can make it out on Wednesday!

Following our ride, there will be a parents meeting in Mr. Linnenberger's room (B118) @ 8:00PM shortly after Back to School night at monarch high school

Technique Clinic #1

This Saturday was the 1st Monarch Mountain Bike Club event at Valmont Bike Park in Boulder, CO. Attendance was light, but showed hope for improvement. Sadly our other team captain was not able to make it due to prior engagements but she was dearly missed. I myself learned many new techniques for cornering and braking, as well as proper positioning on the bike. All of this knowledge was skillfully shown by our AMAZING coach Mr. Linnenberger. Overall this event was a great 1st step toward building team spirit and proper bike handling skillz!
