Absolutely. It’s completely okay to feel unsure or hesitant when starting something new or returning to riding. Sessions are designed to meet you where you are, with a supportive approach that prioritizes confidence, comfort, and steady progress at your own pace.
Multi-day clinics provide an immersive experience, allowing more time for skills progression, application on varied terrain, and deeper confidence building than a single session.
Coaching and clinics are held on local Durango trails, with locations selected based on skill level and progression goals. Popular trail systems may be used, and exact meeting details are provided by your assigned Coach before your first practice.
Dirty Wheels offers both private one-on-one lessons and small group options, depending on your preference and coaching goals.
Participants typically bring their own mountain bike and helmet. Additional items include water, gloves, glasses, protective gear, and weather-appropriate clothing. Your assigned Coach will provide details before your first practice or clinic.
You can register directly on the Dirty Wheels website through the sign-up buttons on the home, program, clinic or shop pages. Registration opens seasonally, and spots are limited for seasonal sessions and clinics.
Services include private lessons, women’s skills and maintenance clinics, beginner, intermediate, strong intermediate to advanced coaching, and multi-day skills clinics for deeper progression. Lessons are tailored to your goals, whether basics or advanced techniques.
