Skills Clinic with the "Godfathers"

"We're going to start from the ground and building up" said Godfather Doug yesterday at MT Alpha's first monthly skills clinic.

The Alphas are seriously lucky to have a set of "Godfathers" or technical coaches.  These Godfathers are local mountain bike "legends" who are willing to share their wisdom with us.  And on Sunday, we got wise on the trail.  Seriously wise.

Manualing, technical climbing and corning were the 3 areas the Godfathers felt we needed to master in order to take the podium at the Hammer Nutrition Missoula Pro XC.  With the improvments we made yesterday, I don't think there's anything stopping us.

Like flowers on Mount Jumbo right now (go check them out, they're beautiful), our ladies are blossoming into serious riders.

But don't be fooled, we're no delecate roses.  These Alphas are getting tough and we're ready to show Scratchgravel a thing or two this Sunday.  See you there.
