Rides & Events

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.

GHORBA - IMBA Take-a-Kid Mountain Biking Day Saturday, October 1

Come celebrate IMBA’s Take-a-Kid Mountain Biking Day with GHORBA on October 1, 2011, at 10 a.m.

We will be hosting the event at James Brindley Memorial Trail at Sugar Land Memorial Park

The event is open to both members and non-members.

It will be a great way to introduce a kid to the fun of trail riding! We will have courses emphasizing safety and basic skills to make riding more enjoyable. After we spend some time on the trail, we will have lunch and snacks available.

Please be sure to RSVP so we have enough food and drinks for everyone.

Rules:
  • RSVP via evite.com
  • Bring your bike and helmet.
  • Anyone riding their bikes on the trail must have a helmet!
  • Parents or guardians must accompany their children and are encouraged to join them as we introduce them to this great trail.

If you have any questions please email Bill Rustam, president@gh…a.org
