"Gail Shafer - Can’t thank you enough for taking me down Noble for the 1st time. Fun, challenging, rocky, so FUN!"
-Jennifer
"As a beginner mountain biker I was highly impressed with Gail's instruction.
She teaches in a way that is easy to understand and I was able to translate her knowledge into becoming a better rider. Gail took great care in making sure I was safe and staying within my skill level.
Every time we rode she built off the last lesson in helping me gain confidence in my capabilities." - Karen
“I couldn't understand shifting for years, with just one mini beginners clinic I was shifting smooth and rolling over cattle guards!”
-Suzanne
