FORC is hosting a MOUNTAIN BIKING SKILLS CLINIC at Sunderbruch Park in Davenport, IA on Saturday, June 6th. And, FACTORY GIANT and Bike N Hike will be at Sunderbruch on both Friday, June 5th and Saturday, June 6th for a BIKE DEMO WEEKEND. We tried to get our other local shops and factory demo rigs to participate, but we just couldn't get our schedules to sync in what is a really busy time of year in the bike shop business. Maybe next year! Definitely check out BOTH days. Both events are FREE to the public! Did I mention FREE?!

The MTB 101 Skills Clinic will be held on Saturday morning, June 6th, at 9 AM. Anyone over the age of 12 is eligible. The Skills Clinic is geared toward the beginner or intermediate rider wanting to either learn basic mountain biking skills or improve existing skills. There will be a short lecture to kick off the class followed by a hands-on riding clinic with instructor guidance. Participants must supply their own bicycle and helmets must be worn. The clinic will wrap with a group ride following the conclusion of the skills clinic (you may want to bring some lunch during the break). The class should last roughly three hours.

Bike N Hike and FACTORY GIANT will be at Sunderbruch Park with a semi load full of demo bicycles for anyone interested to test ride on sweet singletrack on Friday, June 5th, 3 PM – 7 PM and Saturday, June 6th, 10 AM – 3 PM. You know me... there WILL be women's specific bikes available for the fastest growing population of mountain bike owners. You need not be a participant of MTB 101 to test out the demo bikes on either day. Make sure to have your ID in order to take out a demo bike. Come on out! No doubt plenty of FORCers will be at the park riding, so join in on a fun ride while you're there! You know you want to... :D
