Skills Ride vs Workshop

This is not a skills workshop but a training ride with the focus on skills application. We pick 1-2 techniques per session and practice practice practice. If you are looking for a skills workshop to learn all the important techniques in one single session, please view the information under BreakAway Skills. We have regular workshops scheduled throughout the year.
