Three Rivers Park District is offering a road-biking skills development class for women, June 4 at Baker Park Reserve in Maple Plain. This class is ideal for women who want to get into racing or who would like to polish their riding skills on a drop-handlebar bicycle.
Please see the attached news release for more information.
Learn skills that will allow you ride your drop-handlebar road bicycle in comfort and control during “Women Who Ride,” 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, June 4, at Baker Park Reserve in Maple Plain.
During this informative program, participants will learn how to identify proper bike fit, change a flat tire, shift and brake to improve riding. They also will learn skills and techniques to climb, descend, corner and ride in a group. The program is intended for women who would like to develop their on-the-bike skills, comfort and knowledge before riding with a group and/or competitively. It would be a great way for a new rider to learn the basics (bike handling, maintenance, fit and riding technique). It also provides a good review of basics for a beginning racer or cyclist who has been off the bike for awhile.
Program is open to women and girls ages 12 and older. Program fee is $18. Participants should wear comfortable riding clothes and bring their drop-handlebar road bike and helmet. Reservations are required; call 763/559-6700; reference Activity Number #320711-00. Participants should meet at the Baker Park Reserve concession area. Riding skill work will be completed in the parking lot and on paved trails (6-mile loop).
BAKER PARK RESERVE is located at 2301 County Road 19, about 20 miles west of downtown Minneapolis on County Road 19. From Highway 12, take County Road 29 north to County Road 19, and follow Country Road 19 north to the main park entrance. From Highway 55, turn south on County Road 19, and follow County Road 19 to the main entrance.
