This is a fast-paced intermediate clinic where we will learn proper body language that will help translate to faster cornering in a controlled setting. We will then apply what we learned on the trail. This is a great skills clinic for a CAT 2/3 racer trying to increase speed in corners.
Please ensure you have your protective gear, nutrition, and hydration prepared for an impactful 4 hours.

Your Instructor
Chelle Tischler
Chelle started cycling in 2008 on my first used mountain bike. The racing bug started in 2016 at a DORBA race at Rowlett Creek Preserve. She realized very quickly that she'd found her passion! In 2018, she attended Barnett Bicycle School in Colorado Springs to maintain her fleet, work in bike shops and teach bike maintenance. Later in 2018, she became a PMBIA Certified Instructor. Chelle fell in love with teaching and giving back to the cycling community. She also volunteers for DORBA trail work and at Bike Gangs of FTW to wrench on bikes. She has partnered with parks and recreation departments, DORBA, FWMBA, IMBA, bike clubs and Spider Mountain to put on low-cost or free mountain biking skills and maintenance clinics. Chelle also became a personal mountain biking coach to those who have a desire for a deeper dive into XC and enduro racing. She love racing in multiple disciplines including enduro, downhill, gravel, cyclocross, road, XC and XC marathon. Her list of titles includes 2nd in Amateur Women Southern Enduro Tour 2018, 1st USAC Texas State Marathon Championship 2019, 3rd Texas State Cyclocross Championship 2021, 3rd in Pan American Cyclocross Championship 2021, 3rd in USAC Texas State Cyclocross Championship 2021, 2nd USAC Texas State XC Championship 2022, 1st National XC Championship 2022 and 3rd Enduro National Championship 2022.
