Knoxville Adaptive Mountain Biking Skill Session - Athlete

Join Catalyst Sports Knoxville for an Adaptive Mountain Bike (aMTB) Skills Focused Group Ride! 

This ride will focus on learning and progressing your skills on adaptive bikes. During this session, we will cover a variety of skills, allowing each athlete the ability to learn with the group and progress. This will also allow athletes the chance to try out a different bike than they would normally ride. 

Please note that due to how this session will be conducted, we will spend the time on the greenway and in the practice area; no advanced rides will be held at this session. 

Please note that the ride is weather-dependent.
