EAST VILLAGE POP UP SERIES

Are you New to Mountain Biking Or Curious to Try It?

In partnership with the East Village and Calgary Mountain Bike Alliance, Norco Dirt Series is excited to announce a series of pop-up introductory mountain bike skills events throughout June and July!

As long as you can ride a pedal bike, we can teach you the foundational skills needed to stay safe, build confidence, and have fun on the trails – all conveniently located in Celebration Square in downtown Calgary’s East Village.
