Hi All!
We have a wonderful group of ladies from near and far gearing up for some ladies rides here in the Kootenays.
The rides will consist of:
Tech Talk: On the Friday night, our ladies will learn some basic wrenching skills, and troubleshooting. Some of the tasks include
learning how to change belt, adjust shock pressure, track tension adjustment, the most common gremlins and their easy fixes.
Safety orientation: Avalanche Awareness, how to build positive group dynamics, what to pack in the back country, how to build a snow shelter and other survival skills.
Skills development: The ladies will learn basic climbing techniques (if they choose) Carving, getting the sled on edge, side hilling and jumping basics.
These rides are free of charge with a donation to the local sled club. I'll post up more details as we go. Our first ride is set for
the Creston Area January 22 and 23. (22nd will be an evening meet and greet tech talk)
We will potentially have rides in the Creston, Nelson and Cranbrook areas. I have some wonderful helpers, (Birdie from Snow and Mud) along with back country specialists and some first responders (yes ladies they are firemen) on hand for our first aid support.
Membership matters, and it's partnerships with local clubs that help make events such as these possible. Anyone and everyone is welcome. This is not a Ladies only ride. Some women love to have their husbands near by and that is totally cool.
