with a group of kick-ass ladies, then read on!
If:
- you are a beginner or intermediate rider and are looking to do your 1st, 2nd or 3rd Granfondo, Centurion or Charity Ride
- the thought of a mass start with that many people is intimidating
- you feel you would love some support and guidance on how to make your event seamless
- you are freaked out a little...or A LOT as you have no idea what to expect!
- you are worried about what you should be eating leading up to your big day
- you have done one of these events before and you want to have a better time than the last one!
- you feel nervous riding with that many people!
- you're new to riding in groups and would like to know strategies on riding with people you don't know
- you are not sure where to place (seed) yourself at the start line
- you are looking for streamlined lists you can tick off as you prepare for your big day
Then my Learn To Race Road Clinic is for YOU!
This Clinic is going to prepare you physically, mentally and emotionally for your big day. The more prepared you are in all of these areas, the smoother your day will go for you. You will have a plan leading up to your event which will boost your confidence and have you feeling more relaxed and less stressed about your first time.
Is this right for me?
If you experience any of the above fears or struggles then YES absolutely!
I know what you might be thinking. "I'm not sure about this group setting" or, "the other ladies are probably better than me" or, "I don't want to hold up the group" or, "I'm not fast enough". But those are just excuses and MOST female riders suffer from these same thoughts as they tackle their first few events.
I'm here to tell you that you can totally do this and I want YOU to be a part of it! Every new skill or strategy you learn, the better the cyclist you become taking you to another level. And before you know it you're completely rocking your ride so confidently that you feel you can ride with anyone at any time. You feel UNSTOPPABLE!

Who Am I?

I’m Paige and I’m about to become your new cycling coach!
Here's what I'm about: My motto is that safety comes first above all else. I teach what I teach because I’m so super passionate about keeping people safe and supported while riding in groups and with a set of killer bike handling skills! I’ve been EXACTLY where you are right now. AND I had no one to show me the ropes. I learned the hard way and I certainly do not want that for you! I have yelled profanities, especially on hills! Tried for my inside voice but sometimes it came out my outside voice! I created my cycling programs for women just like you. AND it’s why I created a community of women called the Pura Vida Mavericks. So I can support you after this clinic as well! Think of the Mavericks as your new accountability and FUN partners! |
|
I have asked the Mavericks who have come through my Clinics what sets me apart from the rest and why they chose me and here is what a few of them had to say:
|
I loved it! You have a unique ability to teach to any level, even within a clinic of multiple women from different backgrounds. You push hard, but encourage and empower along the way. It was even better than I expected! Thank you so much for sharing your passion.
~ Jodi Green-Kett, Midhurst, ON |

Paige, you have an infectiously positive attitude and energy. You are a pleasure to be around, and are very motivating in your approach. You take the time to connect with everyone and support each group member as needed. You have an obvious passion for supporting and teaching others, and are a seriously bad ass cyclist.
~ Maeghan Kirkley, Barrie, ON |
|
I really liked all your clinics and feel I would not have liked biking as much as I do without the training I received. The coaching was great, it was a very supportive environment and I really liked all the women in my group. Now I can ride farther, ride more efficiently and I want to ride more.
~ Corrina Gibbons, Barrie, ON |

Paige is a wonderful instructor. Safety is top of mind and she never makes you feel intimidated. Her "go getter" attitude is infectious and she makes you feel like "I can do this!". Thanks for a wonderful clinic! ~ Linda Middleton, Consultant, Barrie, ON |
How does this all unfold?
We will meet at the time and date you choose below. There will be a pre-determined route tailored to the skills we will be working on. I will give you verbal instruction, have a demonstration so you can get a visual on the skill and then we will work on them together and re-group for any A-HA moments or questions.
This clinic is skills based and not about getting in a whole bunch of miles. We do all that when you become a member of the Pura Vida Mavericks! Being a more skilled and smarter rider means you get to ride for longer with comfort and ease!

Here is more of what the Mavericks had to say:
|
My biggest challenge was confidence, and a bit of fear of road cycling. Sharing the road with cars and trucks always scared me. Since your clinic, I have noticed A TON of changes! I head out on my bike all the time now, confident in my skills and abilities. I feel safe riding alone and in a group, and even completed my first bike-only race in September!
Paige, your smile and attitude are everything! You can't help but enjoy cycling with you. Your enthusiasm is contagious, and your positivity radiates. ~ Barbara Roberts, Barrie, ON |
|
Paige, you make me feel like one of the group and for that I am grateful! I am grateful that you came along side to give me a "spiritual push". Awesome connection.
~ Josie Skelly, Senior Law Clerk, Midhurst, ON |
|
In Paiges clinic we learned a lot of new skills, proper group riding technique, cycling etiquette, cornering, gearing, different hand positions, riding position on the road... and we also learned why all of these things are important! I loved the small groups and that you are such a strong rider and very passionate about cycling... its contagious! ~ Paula Simpson, Nurse, Barrie, ON |
|
Paige's Learn To Ride clinic was a perfect way to gain basic riding skills in a safe and super fun environment. Learning the basic skills such as how to change my gears efficiently, how to ride in a group safely and how to climb a hill without stopping were skills I gained with the expert instruction from Paige. I am way more comfortable now!
Paige's enthusiasm for the sport is so genuine and her knowledge is invaluable. Her positive attitude and energy are infectious and she inspires you to want to ride your bike! ~ Monica Wolnik, Doctor, Barrie, ON |
|
Such a great experience! Paige is a natural teacher. My challenge was that I need confidence on my bike and had been wanting to start riding with clips. Now I am riding with clips and have a better idea of road safety when riding as I must admit I was nervous about sharing the road with cars. She was able to make us feel so comfortable on our bikes and we learned so much!
~ Kristina Good, Midhurst, ON |
|
Paige's positivity, knowledge, confidence, and assurance made her clinics worth every moment. My riding improved, and more importantly, my confidence during my rides has me wanting to ride more! ~ Debra Bowser, Certified Birth Doula, Barrie, ON |
|
Paige's overall knowledge, patience, and compassion was incredible. She never made you feel as if you were holding anybody up or weighing down the group. She gave very thorough descriptions and guidance always watching you to help with feedback and advice. You could ask any question at any time and it was always answered. Paige being a Holistic Nutritionist was also a huge bonus! She was able to cover all aspects of building and nourishing your body to get the most out of it for your rides and overall health.”
