         Free Mountain Bike Skills Clinic!

Malibu Creek State Park- 

Held the first Saturday of each month

 from 8:45am to 1pm.  

(This event is sponsored by CORBA.  No reservations are necessary.) 

“Mountain biking is a lot like tennis or skiing. Just a few minor adjustments in technique can make a huge difference in your control and proficiency. If you want to get better faster, you need to know the fundamentals of mountain biking technique. Whether you're just getting into mountain biking or have been riding for years, you'll learn some valuable tips from our ‘Introduction to Mountain Biking Skills Clinic’ that is offered each month.”

Some of the skills to be covered will be: proper seated rider position, controlled braking and slow speed technical maneuvering, pedaling cadence/gear use, and proper riding position and technique for climbing and descending.

      Lake Casitas Family Kayak & Picnic!  Sat. 6/19

Back by popular demand...Our 2nd Annual Father’s Day Family Kayak Trip!  This fun family adventure is a great way to celebrate Father’s Day with an afternoon of fun in the sun!

We will start the day at approximately 9:30am kayaking on beautiful Lake Casitas, near Ojai. It will be a 1 hour guided kayak paddle (with instruction- no kayaking experience necessary!).  We’ll be crossing the lake and hugging the shoreline of the island- paddling at a leisurely pace to allow time to look for birds and wildlife and to enjoy the calm morning water.  After our kayak we will have a tasty kid-friendly picnic lunch on the shores of the lake, followed by an afternoon of Frisbee and other fun activities for the whole family to enjoy… or you can just relax in the sun! We should complete our picnic early enough to allow you some time to explore the quaint shops and art galleries of Ojai. 

Please contact me by Tuesday, 6/15 if you’re interested in joining us on this fun family adventure!  This trip is suitable for children 6 and over (with an adult in a double kayak) and is great chance to introduce kids to the wonders of nature and a fun new activity!  This relaxing trip is also the perfect opportunity for people who are new to kayaking to experience a fun, adventurous excursion at a more leisurely pace.

         1) Kayak & Picnic (adults)  $75.00*
