In 2012, GEARS Bike Shop has again joined forces with Sacred Rides to bring you awesome evening skills sessions! Our Don Valley MTB U skills sessions will take place all summer long on weeknights from 6 to 8pm.
MTB U will cover a wide range of mountain biking skills, from the fundamentals all the way up to advanced riding techniques. You’ll ride with our certified instructors and receive hands-on instruction in a friendly, no-attitude environment. We’ll encourage you to push yourself and try new things, but we’ll never take you out of your comfort zone – your safety is important to us.
