On Saturday, Aug. 20, 2-4 p.m., the last of three mountain bike clinics offered by Midcoast Conservancy at Hidden Valley Nature Center (HVNC) will address “Progression”, a workshop for those looking to “level up” their mountain biking skills. It will cover how to corner properly, handling speed, how to make drops, and of course, wheelies! The guides will lead riders to the “Hidden Gems” at HVNC that will challenge their skills and help them progress.

Wednesday group rides run from 5:30-6:30 p.m. through the end of August. No registration is required; participants can bring their own gear or rent at HVNC.
