I booked a guided mountain bike ride in Breckenridge, CO. Susie Nothnagel provided valuable technique instructions to my 15-year-old cousins who are new to mountain biking and put us on trails that were challenging but doable for our skill level. I would recommend Susie to anyone that wanted a guided ride.
Great day with Graham Schoeneman. He was nice, explained things well, demonstrated skills, and made me repeat things till I got them. And it was a super fun day with skill-building, riding switchbacks up to fantastic downhills, and, of course, the bike park. Highly recommend Graham as a guide.

Your guide will explain the different mountain bike techniques and body positions to get you feeling comfortable on the trail. You will progress at a level that is consistent with your comfort. Once you finally get the hang of trail riding, you will only want more!
The intermediate mountain biking course is meant for intermediate to advanced riders looking to learn new technical skills. As such, it is not appropriate for beginners.
