This is my third two-day clinic with DCA. I am already looking forward to the next one! Patrick is an amazing coach: my first clinic with him was 14 months ago when I had just bought a mountain bike (at age 61) and had tried riding it on some local trails with a lot of swearing and no fun. The first clinic was a game changer, by the afternoon of the first day I was already riding the same trails and everything was easier and fun. The third clinic (Burke Mountain Summit Clinic) is a bit of a misnomer: this was so much more than a clinic, a truly unforgettable adventure! Patrick has taken me from a novice mountain bike rider to coming down the summit of Burke mountain on a double-black trail in the short span of a little over a year! He is truly an amazing coach, and he is clearly driven to coaching mostly from a desire to share his mountain biking passion. It is hard to put into words how much fun this clinic/adventure was: awesome coaching, epic rides and a great opportunity to hang out with fellow riders and make new friends. Thank you Patrick and Laurie, I can't wait for the next adventure you are going to take me on!
