Liv/giant Ladies Ride Adelaide

Nov082011

Giant Cycling World Adelaide employee Jackie Schapel held an introductory mountain bike skills clinic in Adelaide on the weekend to give a group of ladies some pointers on getting into mountain biking. She brought with her some of the new 26" Anthem X-1 W's mountain bikes for the group of ladies to take out onto the trails in the Adelaide hills.

The skills session went for a full day covering the following topics and more:

  • Bike setup
  • Bike position
  • Entry level skills
  • Cornering & Braking
  • Technical Climbing
  • Feedback session

The feedback from the day was very positive with much fun had by all and the bikes performed flawlessly!

Check out the photos below from the day and also a neat video covering the day's events. Stay tuned for our next Liv/giant demo!
