Roots to Rocks - Youth Mountain Bike Ride

This is a no rider left behind group ride – think “party pace”

There will likely be some “session-ing” and skills instruction along the way.

This is a perfect way to meet other riders and build skills on your bike.

We have a limited number of bikes and helmets available free of charge in case you don’t have one (we will ask to hold something as collateral during the program – cell phone/credit card/etc.).

**For those who bring their own bicycle – we ask that you ensure that the bike is in SAFE/WORKING order PRIOR to attending the group ride**

Pre-requisites/Requirements:

– Ages 6+
– Must know how to ride a bicycle
– Must know how to operate a bicycle with gears/hand brakes (no coaster brakes)
– Participants must wear CLOSED TOED SHOES

Registrants must provide their own:

– Water bottle/hydration pack

It is also highly encouraged that participants wear:

– Sunscreen
– Bike gloves
– Above the ankle socks

Reminder to check the email Inbox associated with the REGISTERED participant prior to the event for information specific to your program.

In the event of inclement weather, we will either cancel our program or adjust it to accommodate.
If we must cancel a program, we will do our best to notify you 24hrs in advance.
