If you’re like many midwesterners, you hung up your bike last fall and you are just blowing off the dust as trails open. If you *did* bike over the last 5 months, odds are your winter bike habits looked a lot different than your summer habits. We’ve all done the “pre-ride, re-ride, free ride” on a new trail, and you can apply this same philosophy when approaching this new season.

As you hop back in the saddle again, you have Sure Shift’s permission to take it slow. You’re not the same person you were last year, and now is a great time to take personal inventory during a “pre-ride.”

⚙️ Body — How does your body feel? How is your body positioning? Are you moving about your cockpit smoothly? Are you getting out of the saddle or pasted to that seat? Are you feeling balanced in your feet?

⚙️ Breath — Are you breathing? Of course you are, but how are you breathing? Are you using your breath to add power to skill motions? Are you monitoring your breath as it relates to rate of perceived exertion?

⚙️ Brain — What thoughts are you having? Do the thoughts serve you or detract from the experience?

We all ride for different reasons. After your self-assessment you might arrive at the conclusion that you’re ready to rip it, or you might decide you’re in need of some fine tuning. Whatever your goals might be, we’d love to help if you’d like to tackle something new or differently.

Sure Shift guides and instructors are ready when you are for the 2025 season.

"You are what you do, not what you say you'll do." - Carl Jung

The nights are long here in Minnesota this time of year. Despite the lack of light, the darkness lends itself to reflection -- an audit of the past year and laundry list of resolutions for the upcoming year. How many of those resolutions never translate to real world doing?

Let's stop wishing, wanting, and wondering and start doing in this new year. Let's learn a new skill, see the world from a new perspective, and push the edge of our comfort zone.

Gift yourself or someone you love a tour, a lesson, or a session with Sure Shift as your trusted guide. Whether it be a walk in the woods, a confidence boosting skills session, a paddle around the pits, or a goal setting sesh, the rewards reaped will extend far beyond our time together.

Let's grow!

We’re stepping into the laboratory tomorrow to experiment with the laws of physics. We’ve got a hunch that you’ll leave ripping corners, berms and switchbacks.

Thursday, June 6 from 5:30-7:30 pm. On and off the trail skills work focusing on pedal position, counterbalance, counter steering, pressure control, and more.
