What should I do on the day of my lesson?

On the day of your mountain bike clinic, arrive at the Ticket House to pick up all wristbands and proof of purchase. If you are renting a bike, please allow ample time to pick up your equipment. When you have your equipment and wristbands, meet your instructor by the colored flags adjacent to the Crank Bike Shop.

What should I wear?

Helmets (full face is recommended), and sturdy closed toe and heeled sneakers are required for all mountain bike clinics. We also recommend you cover up with long sleeves/shorts and protect your body from a range of elements. Full-finger gloves give added protection for your hands, and goggles are the best choice for eye protection against dirt, branches and other obstacles you might run into on the trails. Elbow and knee pads also give added protection from cuts, scrapes and impact.

Gear is available for purchase/rent (helmets and pads) at the Ticket House.

Can I bring my own bike?

Helmets and sturdy, closed toe and heeled sneakers are required. Full-suspension bikes, pads and other protective equipment are recommended.

What if it’s raining the day of my clinic?

Most of our services and attractions are available rain or shine. In the case of thunder and lightning, we will suspend our mountain bike classes.

It is very uncommon for our New England resort to close due to weather conditions. If for some reason the resort deems conditions to be unsafe enough to close for the day you plan to visit, we will work with you to reschedule your mountain bike course as best as we can.
