FORC volunteers teaching bike skills during the 2012 TAKMBD.
FORC is once again hosting a Take a Kid Mountain Bike Day. The goal of this FREE world wide event is to get kids outdoors and active by introducing them to mountain bikes and off-road trails.
Participants will go over basic bike skills and maintenance items in a short MTB-101 type class and then hit the trails for a beginner paced group ride with emphasis on putting the previously learned skills to use.
Meet at the shelter across the bridge on Sylvan Island. (directions here)
RSVP at the TAKMBD Facebook Event.
Healthy snacks and drinks will be provided for participants after the ride.
This event is free to all! Recommended for ages 6-16. Parents are welcome to participate!
Helmets are required for participation.
