If:
- hills are the worst for you and find it a real struggle getting up them
- you avoid certain types of obstacles as you had a nasty experience one time that didn't end so well
- corners are a nail biting experience especially when you feel your bike start to slide out!
- finding the right gear is frustrating and you want to know how to shift and when to shift
- you've gone over the bars one too many times and it has shaken your confidence
- reaching for your water bottle or into your pocket is not your forte
- you wouldn't dream of riding certain trails as you feel way too intimidated by them
- you often hear yourself saying 'SORRY!' because you feel bad for not being able to keep up and holding people up
- you're hard on yourself and get frustrated when you can't quite get something
- you can’t find anyone to ride with or you haven’t met the awesome ladies you are meant to ride with
- you're looking to build lots of CONFIDENCE in a safe environment

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. “This is out of my league” or, "the other ladies are probably better than me" or, “I’m not fast enough” or, “I don’t what to hold the group up” or, "I'm not sure about learning in a group setting".
News flash!
I've heard all these same thoughts before a gazillion times from women just like you and I can tell you confidently that these are your fears showing up as excuses. I completely understand as this was me years ago and MOST female riders suffer from these same thoughts as they start out in mountain biking.
I’m here to tell you that you can totally do this and I want YOU to be a part of it and find out how amazing you are!

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 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. It’s why I created a community of women called the Pura Vida Mavericks. Think of the Mavericks as your new accountability and FUN partners! |
|
I have asked the Mavericks who have come through my skills clinics what sets me apart from the rest and why they chose me and here is what a few of them had to say:
|
Whether you’re just beginning or are on season two of riding everyone can benefit from learning the basics of how you should be positioning your body when riding. Her tips and coaching techniques make learning easy and she demonstrates each skill before you practice it. We even learned bike maintenance, how to confidently jump logs and to bunny hop (super fun stuff). The flow of the clinic was great and the skills I’ve taken away will benefit me for years to come. Thanks Paige!!

I highly recommend taking Paige's skills camp. I absolutely loved this clinic!! I'm brand new to MTB but after her skills camp I was able to clear obstacles like logs and rock gardens that used to terrify me! The trail was challenging for me as a beginner. The technical theory and applied practice were valuable for me. The small group was valuable for receiving extra attention. Paige also fed us with delicious homemade hummus and oat bars - the perfect snack was a key component to keep us filled for the ride! I learned how to climb effectively and efficiently, change gears to control energy exertion, effective breaking protocol, clearing obstacles (logs, puddles, rock gardens), how to use my eyes and hips to direct me through the path, and proper bike maintenance. Paige, you are a knowledgeable and positive coach who challenged me to do things that I was initially afraid to do. I was able to overcome my fears with your instruction, presence and support. I felt comfortable riding over obstacles because of your technical coaching and positive / can-do attitude. Thank you for this amazing experience and I can't wait to ride with you again!!
~ Audrey Santo Domingo, Toronto, ON |
I can promise you that after this skills clinic that your mountain bike doesn't stand a chance of collecting dust in your garage or your basement if I or any of the other Mavericks have something to say about it!

Paige's experience and her lesson plans on teaching technical mountain bike skills are invaluable. Each lesson was a precursor to the next with the final test of riding over a log to put all our skill sets together!
The instructions she gave were clear and her demonstrations were simplistic yet complex. Paige's patience is refreshing. I felt like I was a part of the team but also like I had "1 on 1" coaching. ~ Jacqueline Taylor, Toronto, ON |
How does this all unfold?
Now that you've registered, you can expect to receive an email from me confirming receipt along with a mandatory questionnaire and waiver to be filled out as well as bonuses, meeting particulars and what to bring.
There will be a pre-determined network of trails where we will be working on the skills. 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. Being a more skilled, fluid and efficient rider means you get to ride for longer with ease and get faster.
Check out our Women's Mountain Bike Weekend for a whole weekend of skills and fun! This incredible weekend is a perfect next step to this skills clinic. Practice what you learn here over the next 6 weeks and then come on out to take it to the next level or get a refresher at our Women's Mountain Bike Weekend so you can keep practicing and growing and meet other women who enjoy mountain biking as much as you do.

Here is more of what the Mavericks had to say:

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 |

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 |
|
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.”
