September 27th - Women's Fundamentals + Trail Application - MTB Skills Clinic

Ready to feel more confident, capable, and in control on your bike?

Build the fundamental skills that make every trail more fun—then take them straight to the dirt and put them into practice.

We’ll work on body position, braking, shifting, climbing, descending, cornering, wheel lifts, line choice, and navigating trail features, with personalized coaching along the way.

Then we’ll hit the trail to connect the skills, choose better lines, manage speed, and ride with more confidence.

Learn it. Practice it. Ride it.
Come ready to challenge yourself, meet other rad women, and leave a stronger rider than when you arrived.

Groups will be capped at 10 riders. We need a minimum of 5 registrants to host this clinic! Registration closes Sunday 9/20 at 7PM. 

This clinic will run 10AM-1PM at Elings Park. Cost is $95/person - MountainAdoras members get a 25% discount (check your emails!). 

More about your coach:

Arielle Miller, EdD
Founder, Fuerza LA MTB · Educator · Coach · Rider

Arielle Miller is an educator, coach, and lifelong athlete whose journey on two wheels is deeply rooted in community, resilience, and transformation. With over 20 years of experience as a teacher, instructional coach, curriculum designer, and professional development facilitator, she brings a rare blend of academic rigor and trail-tested wisdom to everything she leads.

Arielle discovered mountain biking after competitive road racing, where she captained the La Grange Race Team. From that foundation, she launched into enduro racing, coaching, and advocacy. Ultimately, becoming a certified BICP Level 1 Instructor, NICA coach, and completing her Doctorate in Leadership from the University of Southern California.

Arielle has coached middle and high school athletes through the La Cañada MTB Team and now serves as Team Director and Head Coach of Fuerza LA MTB, a newly launched composite team in the NICA's Golden State South League. Fuerza centers around underrepresented riders, celebrates growth over speed, and creates a space where strength is measured in grit, heart, and showing up for each other.

Her coaching impact extends beyond her own team. She has guest-coached at women’s events at SkyPark Bike Park, and in July 2025, she helped design and co-facilitate the first-ever mountain bike camp at Elings Park in Santa Barbara, setting a new precedent for regional youth programming rooted in skill-building, fun, and community connection.

When she’s not coaching, teaching, or organizing the next big thing, Arielle models and occasionally appears in commercials. Her dream? To someday retire as a stay-at-home cat mom with a garage full of bikes and endless days of bike riding.
