Singletrack Academy is an educational program of the Genesee Regional Off-Road Cyclists that teaches mountain biking skills to youth and adults interested in learning how to ride, as well as those that want to improve their skills and gain more confidence on the trails.
What is Taught?
This season SA will offer a youth program through Victor Parks & Rec., and an adult co-ed clinic at our Burning Bike Festival. GROC will also be sponsoring another program hosted by Crankskins / RV&E Race Team. These clinics and programs will be offered for beginner and intermediate riders. Skills taught will vary by program & clinic, but will consist of lessons appropriate for each skill level. GROC instructors have been certified by the Bike Instructors Certification Program and use a teaching curriculum based on this program. Please see the links below for specific information about each clinic and program.
What Level is Right For Me?
| Beginner | Intermediate |
| Ideal for any child or adult that is new to the sport, or for those that have been riding a while, but have never received any formal instruction. Youth interested in attending this program should try riding off road on short, easy sections of trail before signing up. This will help gauge a students readiness for instruction. | Suitable for experienced riders that can consistently apply mountain biking fundamentals and can ride many trails. Students should expect some skills to take significant practice to master. |
