Mental Strategy Workshop

Gearing up for the Pemberton Enduro or Spudcrusher, or just looking to work on your mental strategy while riding this summer? The Mind Mountain is hosting an exclusive workshop for PORCA members on April 13th.

What: A 4-hour workshop consisting of an off-trail Mental Strategy Session, and a ~3-hour trail ride and application session.

Why: Our mental state can greatly affect our riding, racing performance, and enjoyment. Since a rider’s mental state is deeply intertwined with their technical skills, we build both simultaneously, providing feedback and strategies for improvement.

How: We start with an off-trail workshop, discussion, and Q&A about the group’s mental challenges in riding/racing. Then, we go on a ~3-hour trail ride, focusing on a common skill or terrain goal. We begin on easy terrain, then move to a specific challenging section like a drop, roll, or corner learning to apply new mental strategies to regulate our nervous system and enhance performance.

The goal doesn’t necessarily have to be to ride the challenging feature that day, more important is that participants learn the process to turn abstract psychological concepts into practical biking skills for many situations.

Women’s Bike club is Back with the first ride of the season.

Meet: 6PM at the Pemberton Creek Community Garden

There will be 3 ride options:

1. Up S2S trail/Piece of Cake, down POC, Thuja Plicata (Begintermediate)

2. Special K to Dog Beach (Shorter/Intermediate)

3. Pioneer (Longer/Advanced)

Sign in: 6:00 PM at One Mile Beach

Race Starts: 6:30 PM

Course: Pioneer, Fizzy Pop, Dog Beach

On Thursday, April 3rd, 2025, head over to the Pemberton and District Public Library for a Sustainable Trail-Building Workshop.

The workshop will focus on best practices for creating and maintaining trails responsibly. We’ll dive into the principles of sustainable trail building and how to ensure long-lasting, environmentally friendly trails.

Guest speakers from the Pemberton Valley Recreational Trails Working Group, including representatives from Líl̓wat Nation Lands & Resources, PORCA, Pemberton Valley Trails Association PVTA Pemberton Wildlife Association, Spel'kúmtn Community Forest, and the Indigenous Youth Mountain Bike Program, will be joining this collaborative presentation.

After the workshop, stick around for a screening of the movie Dirt Relations.
Dirt Relations is an inspiring and thought-provoking documentary that explores the powerful connection between mountain biking, reconciliation, and healing intergenerational trauma. Through captivating storytelling and breathtaking visuals, the film follows three individuals—Patrick, Thomas, and Tom—as they collaborate with Indigenous communities across British Columbia to build trails and empower Indigenous youth.

This workshop is made possible thanks to the generosity of the Whistler Community Foundation.
