Today at my local club run downhill mtb skills clinic ,which of course attracts a mixture of abilities ,the guy running it announced that we would split into four groups-advanced,intermediate,beginner and yes you guessed it,women.Whilst I enjoy the different dynamic that riding with other women has,I really struggle to come to terms with femaleness as an ability category! Our happy band of five had one beginner,two intermediates and two more advanced riders so how was our coach going to keep everyone happy.It meant two of us went back to fundamentals which is maybe not such a bad thing and then ended up being the demo bitches for the morning.It was fun and great to help and see the improvement in the other riders but it did leave my friend and I thinking,what about us don't we get a bit of analysis and tips.Next time I'm going to insist on going with the guys!!
