Transition Women’s Weekend West (Bellingham, WA)
Both of these events (April and July) will kick-off on Friday night with an optional and casual meet-and-greet party at the Transition Outpost so students and coaches get a chance to mingle. On Saturday and Sunday we will split into smaller groups based on goals and previous experience then spend 6-7 hours on the bike each day honing skills, building confidence, riding trails, and deepening your understanding of complex mountain bike techniques. On Saturday night we will gather again for a private dinner party catered by our favorite, Outpost Eats, allowing us to relive the fun of day one and continue to get to know each other.
The coaches’ progressive approach to teaching starts students in a low-consequence setting, using our “progression props”, giving them time to focus on proper body position, timing, and execution of fundamental and complex skills. Then they methodically add the next level of complexity for each skill so that their students are powered by the confidence of these successful successions.
Regardless if your goals for the weekend are to learn the basics of mountain biking or learn how to catch more air and ride faster - our coaches tailor the lessons to your goals. Each student will also receive some “fun homework” with a skills re-cap sheet and study guide to help them continue to progress well beyond our weekend together.
For the Bellingham events we have Coach April Katz, a professional adaptive cycling coach with The Airow Project, working with us. April and her team of coaches will host a group of neurodiverse, disabled, and/or Deaf riders who are able to ride a two wheeled bike. We will do our best to accommodate the needs of the group with either ebikes or shuttle assistance on the hill, as needed. As we explore serving more disabled and adaptive riders, we are simultaneously working towards improving access to adaptive trails here locally in Bellingham. Check back for more options in the future for riders on adaptive bikes like hand cycles and three wheelers to join the party.
DETAILS:
Over 12 hours of goal-oriented, expert coaching by professional coaches Angi Weston, April Katz, and many more from the Radical Roots MTB team

“This was the best weekend I think I’ve ever had.”
“I came into the weekend with one goal: Learn how to jump with confidence. It took a morning of instruction to accomplish that goal. Who knew instruction would be so valuable!? I wish I would have done this a decade ago!”
“I got so much more out of this event than I expected.”
“The coaches were so positive and knowledgeable and could break down what I needed to do. Angi’s enthusiasm and mantras were so encouraging. Shoutout to Transition for supporting this clinic. The food was great and accommodating.”
“My favorite part of the weekend was the instruction & feedback and support of coaches and our group members...and it was simply FUN times!”
