Empowering Women Riders
SheADV Women’s Only Adventure Rider Training
Level 1 and Level 2
SheADV is doing something a little different this year and offering 4-hour training sessions, so you can enjoy other things the rally has to offer. So, we have broken up the Level 1 and Level 2 classes into 2 Parts. Join Lead Off-Road Instructor Shal Wilson and her team, for half day skill building sessions that will move you through your fears to mastering skills with finesse and confidence. Learn a commonsense approach to mastering your bike so you can manage the terrain you’ll encounter in the backcountry and become the rider you want to be. We find that most riders benefit from taking the Level 1 class either as a first timer or using the class as a refresher. Then we will kick it up a notch with the Level 2 classes.
BYOB…Bring your own Bike. All sizes of off-road worthy motorcycles are welcome.
These classes are appropriate for beginner and intermediate off-road riders.
