The New Forest Off Road Club is dedicated to Growing confidence.We acknowledge the systemic barriers to women in all areas of life and empower women through building confidence and skills in navigation, mechanics and leadership.The AgendaIntroductions First up, let’s get to know each other. We’ll do introductions, learn about why we are here and how we are feeling. Hopefully you’ll leave with new found knowledge and a new pal to ride with. We’ll be asking you to scale your confidence in bike mechanics from 1 - 10. 1 being “eeeerrm, what’s a wheel?” to 10 “I once had an issue whilst I was touring so I sourced all new parts and built a new bike”What’s that part called?First things first, let’s learn the names of bike parts. It can get confusing so you’ll be working in groups to label parts of a bike. “M” CheckAn “M” check allows you to identify any safety issues on your bike. When you get this skill down, you can do an “M” check in 60 seconds. We will be taking our time, learning the “M” check step by step and repeating it so that the knowledge is truly embedded. The safer the bike, the more you can shred the gnar 🤟DinnerAfter the M check, we will pause for dinner. A delicious plant based meal of Caponata, Sicilian Sweet 'n Sour Aubergine Stew) &amp; a Sun-dried Tomato &amp; Black Olive Quinoa ‘Tabouleh’ will be served from @greenlabelkitchen. PuncturesFor those running tubes, we will demonstrate how to remove your wheel and tyre, identify the cause of the puncture, fix it and replace your wheel and tyre. For those running tubeless, we will demonstrate how to use a plug and how to deal with a slashed tyre. Everyone will have time to practise this on their bikes, multiple times. Round up and debriefThe evening will end with a debrief. We’ll ask you to share any ‘light bulb moments’ with the group and invite you to make a commitment that will progress your learning beyond the workshop.
