There’s something special waiting for you at Moore Creek Park mountain bike trails in St. Helena, overlooking the beautiful Napa Valley.


It’s more than just mountain biking. It’s confidence. Community. Adventure. It’s the feeling of trying something new, pushing past fear, laughing with friends, and realizing you’re capable of more than you thought.

Beginner-Friendly Coaching in a Supportive Environment


One of the biggest fears many riders have is feeling intimidated.

Too technical. Too advanced. Too fast. That’s not what this experience is about.

Our clinics focus on creating a positive and encouraging atmosphere where riders can safely build confidence, improve skills, and enjoy the process of learning. You’ll receive hands-on coaching in a welcoming environment where progression matters more than perfection.


This is a place where questions are encouraged, friendships are formed, and riders of all backgrounds can grow together.


What You’ll Learn on the Trail

Throughout the clinic, riders will work on:

  • Body positioning and balance

  • Cornering fundamentals

  • Braking control

  • Climbing and descending techniques

  • Confidence on obstacles and uneven terrain

  • Trail awareness and line choice

  • Mental strategies for overcoming fear and hesitation


But the experience goes deeper than just riding skills.


Learn the Lessons From 23 Principles of Mountain Biking

Every rider attending the clinic will receive a free copy of Liz Donahey’s book, The 23 Principles of Mountain Biking.


As you ride alongside Liz Donahey and Kim Meredith throughout the day, you’ll not only learn practical riding skills, but also the deeper life lessons mountain biking teaches us:


  • resilience

  • courage

  • perseverance

  • patience

  • trust

  • overcoming fear

  • confidence through discomfort


Mountain biking becomes a mirror for life itself.

Many riders leave realizing the biggest transformation wasn’t just physical — it was mental and emotional too.


Bring Your Partner, Spouse, Friends, or Family

One of the best parts of this experience is sharing it with people you care about.

Bring:


  • Your spouse or partner

  • Your best friend

  • Your teenage rider

  • Your ride crew

  • Anyone looking for a fun and empowering outdoor experience


This is an opportunity to challenge yourselves together, build memories, and discover why so many people fall in love with mountain biking.


Ride Above the Napa Valley

The mountain biking trails around Moore Creek offer beautiful scenery, flowing terrain, rolling hills, and breathtaking views overlooking Napa Valley — creating the perfect setting for riders wanting to improve while enjoying one of Northern California’s most inspiring outdoor destinations.

With spring riding season here, this is the perfect time to get outside, reconnect with nature, and experience the freedom mountain biking creates.


Spots Are Limited

To keep the experience personalized and supportive, clinic sizes are intentionally limited and spots are beginning to fill.


If you’ve been wanting to:

  • gain confidence on the bike

  • meet supportive riders

  • improve your skills

  • challenge yourself in a positive environment

  • or simply experience something new and inspiring
