    Testimonials
    Grateful to Dylan Renn [from A Singletrack Mind] for his women’s mtn bike workshop I took last month. Dylan–your biking words of wisdom were running through my head all weekend: “Look beyond the obstacle” “bend your elbows, cowboy up legs, ready position” and “first rule–have fun!” I could almost keep up with my kids! May be some of the best money you spend to elevate your skills and I’ve got absolutely no skin in this game.
    Allison
    Course Attendee
    It’s about the details… the tiny ones that make the difference between a ride and an awesome adventure. If you’re a beginner like me and have a zillion questions, Dylan has answers. In fact he has more than just answers, he helped me show myself the answers. He not only breaks down body position and technique in a very friendly, fun and comfortable hands on teaching environment (verbally, demo and video), but he also literally broke down a trail section by section giving me the skill to blaze down it with confidence. From basic body position and mental set up to high speed corners, I can honestly say that since my coaching session with Dylan, there hasn’t been a ride I’ve gone on where I haven’t put 100% of his tips to the test, which has made riding not only more fun, but safer as well. If you’re looking to get a strong riding foundation, gain confidence and have fun while learning I highly recommend spending some time with Dylan, he even follows up with tips and pointers so you can practice when you’re on your own!

    Highly recommend A Singletrack Mind. Dylan is an amazing coach and person, much in line with the other reviews. I took the Bear Valley 2-day clinic which was great. Good practice grounds that Dylan knows v well (he built many of the local trails himself), and a stunning area. I am a fairly experienced rider (racing at elite level) and gained a lot from Dylan, going through the basics before applying in practice. I have taken other coached sessions before, and found Dylan's coaching a lot more helpful compared to others. Both before/during the course all very clear communication and readily available to answer questions and go the extra mile. Thank you Dylan and Amy.
