Lee Likes Clinics: Skills, Confidence, Fun

/3 Comments/in /by


It’s that time of year — time to learn new skills and refine old ones. Whether you’re a beginner or pro, a weekend warrior or a hardcore racer, I will help you reach your riding goals.

You can learn by yourself, with a few friends or with your entire team. Just do yourself a favor and take a clinic with me. You will learn a lot, and you’ll enjoy riding more than ever. If you’re a racer, you’re more likely to stand on the podium.

I’ve posted my 2008 private and semi-private coaching packages, and this year I will also offer group/public clinics. Check out the goods:

Rider Safety Acts?

/3 Comments/in , /by

Lee,
I just read the “I want to build the next Whistler” entry and wanted to ask about liability with the ski resorts.

Colorado has laws that limit a ski resorts liability in case a skier gets hurt. Do these laws extend to mountain biking at the resort. From my understanding the ski industry would barely exist without the protection the ski resorts get from these limited liability laws. In order to promote growth of mountain biking maybe these laws should be amended to include cycling.

The shoulder chronicles: Ignorance was bliss

/26 Comments/in /by


Three weeks ago, I was feeling healthy and strong. I was training hard and looking forward to a great season of coaching and racing. Then I learned the clavicle I broke four years ago never healed. It turns out my right arm is being held on not by bone and ligament as God intended, but by muscle only. I need surgery. And my thinking has started to change.

Software for diagramming tracks, Part 2

/6 Comments/in , /by

Hey Lee –

The Colorado School of Mines cycling team recently gained permission to build a ds course, pump track, and stxc on a fairly large patch of land owned by the school. I need to present them with a diagram of both the ds and pump track prior to construction. A diagram similar to those you put together would fit the bill perfectly. What software do you use? Any tips?

I really appreciate the help,

– Brandon
