Organiser's Description
Welcome to the 2024 Copper Harbor Womens Weekend Clinic Sponsored by Liv!
More details about the 2024 clinic will be added later in the winter. Until then, check the 2023 details below. Some things may change.
A weekend of learning, camaraderie, and above all else, FUN! The Copper Harbor Womens Weekend Sponsored by Liv clinic brings together fantastic coaches and eager riders for one of the premier womens clinics in the Midwest. Not only do you get to ride the awesome trails in and around Copper Harbor, you get to do so with some seriously high-powered professional coaching talent. Well show you how its done in a women-focused learning environment. No jocks, hotshots, show-offs, or mansplainers here! Just women teaching women how its done, one incredible weekend at a time.
The Womens Weekend Clinic is open to women of all shapes, sizes, colors, faith, background, orientation, age (over 18), or skill level. If you identify yourself as a woman mountain bike rider, this clinic is for you! From those just getting started in the sport to folks who have been riding for years and need to work on a particular technique, our coaches will help take your riding to the next level. Participants will be assigned coaches depending on their skill level and interests. Some groups will focus on the basics to ensure you can get up and down the trail safely and efficiently, while others will take on tougher obstacles that only Copper Harbor can offer. Throughout the weekend, everyone will get confidence building how-tos from coaches who have been in your shoes and experienced the same challenges we all face on the trail. Later in the weekend youll have the chance to choose a special ride to focus on, including tackling the expert-level Red Trail or going for a scenic ride out on the Keweenaw Point Trail.
Bike Gear
What kind of bike should you bring? The bike youre most comfortable with! Just about any decent bike with front suspension from the past several years will be more than enough to take on the vast majority of the Copper Harbor trails. Your hardtail will do just fine for most activities. Full suspension bikes are a bonus but not required - dont feel like you have to upgrade to attend. Helmets are a must! Pads are optional but never hurt if youve got em. If you are deciding on pedals, go flat as this will help advance your skills faster.
Weather
Watch the weather and be prepared: we ride rain or shine. The Copper Harbor Trails dont shut down when it rains and neither will we. A little mud never hurt anyone! You may also want to bring your yoga mat as Johanna Davis from Spirit of the North Wellness will be leading a morning session or two for us.
Refund Policy
If you must back out of the clinic, youll be charged a flat $50 processing fee. You will then receive a refund based on the following schedule:•100% of the remaining balance if 45 or more days before the clinic•70% of the remaining balance if between 45 and 30 days before the clinic•50% of the remaining balance if between 30 and 15 days before the clinic•NO Refund within 14 days of the clinic. Cutting it too close!
