COVID-19 UPDATE
For the health and safety of our attendees, we will be implementing the following:

• The event will be held outside at The Trading Post Pavilion at Hale and under the tents, with mechanics spaced at least 8 – 10 feet apart (if not more) in assigned workspaces.
• Face masks will be required whenever attendees are outside of their workspace, or when anyone else is within 6 feet.
• Face shields will be provided and should be worn at all times, regardless of physical distancing.
• Mechanics should bring their own tools to limit sharing.
• Gloves, cleaning supplies, and hand sanitizer will also be provided at each mechanic station.
• Attendees are asked to bring their own lunch, snacks, and reusable water bottle. We will provide some single-serve snacks, drinks, and water for refilling.

During the clinic you will work on your own bike, learning how to:

• Take apart and clean and maintain your bike to ensure it continues to run smoothly and prolong the life of your bike and major parts.
• Make minor repairs and adjustments including evaluating and changing a chain, adjusting brakes and shifting and more.
• Keep your bike shifting & braking smoothly by fixing brakes and drivetrain, setting proper cable tension, changing brake pads, and evaluating and replacing a worn chain.
• Make major repairs and replace parts including remove and cleaning your crank arms and cassette and replacing cables, and more.
• Prepare for an emergency, including how to make repairs on the trail.
• Learn about hydraulic disc brakes including evaluating function, tricks to keep them running well, and maintenance procedures.
