Clinic Testimonials

"The MT Alpha clinics were both my introduction and gateway to mountain biking. After only about ten rides I signed up for all three and never looked back, they gave me a solid skills foundation to build on, and the confidence to try out new rides with friends. I went full gas on fun trails all summer and can’t wait to get back at it this season! 10/10 - five stars - if you’re new to mountain biking or anxious about the downhills try these clinics out and come ride with the MT Alphas!" - Britt
"I didn’t imagine learning a new sport in my 40s, but I’m glad I am! Participating in MT Alpha Cycling's clinics allowed me to learn a new sport while enjoying the outdoors in a safe and supportive space. Louisa and MJ were particularly fantastic at teaching the incremental skills needed to mountain bike, boosting my confidence even when I struggled. Their teaching style allowed for getting specific skill instruction and then practicing those skills on trails around Missoula. I’m excited to continue to learn!" - Anisa
"I absolutely love the Alpha womens clinics!! No pressure and super fun!! As an older, slower uphill rider I’ve loved the support I’ve had from all the other women. The clinics have been amazing at teaching me the basics of downhill riding…I’m hooked!" - Whitney
"In the spring of 2019, at age 47, I decided to try mountain biking. I participated in my first all day Skills Clinic that spring up at Marshall with MT Alpha. In 2021 I also participated in the weekly clinics and rides. Both opportunities gave me tools to improve my riding skills, build confidence, make friends and encouragement to keep at it. The environments are friendly and supportive for any level rider. I love mountain biking now, it's opened up a whole new world to me. Thank you MT Alpha!" - Alicia
"The Mt Alpha Clinics were the perfect opportunity for me to dig into MTB basics. The coaches gave excellent demonstrations of proper body positioning, weighting, and handling. It was a safe space to ask any question, no matter your skill level! After the clinic, my descents on steep terrain definitely improved, and I knew what to practice to keep progressing!" - Megan
