CORBA’s April Free Skills Clinic Canceled

Friday, March 27th, 2020

Mark won’t be teach CORBA’s free skills clinic in April.

For only the second time since 1992, we must cancel the CORBA Free Skills Clinic, which would have taken place on Saturday, April 4.  At this point, it looks likely we’ll need to also cancel May’s class.

The first time we had to cancel was just last year, in the wake of the Woolsey fire. In both, the circumstances are beyond our control.

We thank Mark Langton, our lead instructor, for his ongoing commitment to this program. We know that if it were possible, he would still hold the clinic.

In the meantime, please keep yourself and your loved ones safe. If you do choose to ride, remember to keep it local, slow it down, only ride open trails and keep your social distance. We’ll get through this.

December Free Skills Clinic Cancelled

Monday, November 26th, 2018

Due to the horrendous damage to Malibu Creek State Park, CORBA is unable to hold our monthly free mountain biking skills clinic. The free skills clinic has been held on the first Saturday of every month for more than 20 years. 

This is the first time that we have had to cancel the class, a testament to the dedication of Mark Langton, our skills clinic instructor. 

At this time there is no estimate for when Malibu Creek State Park will reopen. Our January clinic is still on the calendar but is very likely to be canceled or moved to a new location.

May Skills Clinic photos posted May 5

Saturday, May 5th, 2018

We had a relatively large group of 14 riders this month. It was a hot day in the park (a little over 90-degrees) and the park was very crowded. There seemed to be several events going on in addition to the Skills Clinic.

April Skills Clinic photos posted April 9

Monday, April 9th, 2018

This month we had six riders. The weather was clear and cool (a slight possibility of rain was forecast but none fell) but the stream had some slimy water in it, so we skipped the creek crossing and rode down to the Rock Pool instead. The park was getting really crowded as we were riding back to the cars with many large groups of people using the trails.
