Public Clinics

Several times a year, GHORBA and our partners put on public mountain biking skills clinics. They are suited for all ages and skill levels, so if you attend as a beginner and practice your skills afterward, you can probably attend as an intermediate next time around.

Best of all, GHORBA public MTB skills clinics are free for GHORBA members!

Make sure that you’ve subscribed to our email updates to get fresh info on future clinics (see the link on the right side of this page).

Custom Group Clinics

If your workplace, family, or group has 5 or more riders that would like a customized skills clinic, please contact clinic@GHORBA.org for information on scheduling a custom skills clinic for a small, tax-deductible donation.

Private Lessons

Private mountain biking lessons can be arranged via our pool of instructors. Contact clinic@GHORBA.org for more info.

Volunteer Opportunities Saturday May 17

A big THANK YOU to all of the volunteers who helped last week with the Big Ring Challenge. The event was a total success.

We have several work parties this Saturday, from cutting new trail up North, in Conroe, Timberlane and Cypresswood, to helping inside the loop with a Third Ward kid’s bike safety event in the museum district.

Come on out and bring a friend. Event details are on our calendar
