Ride Dates: November 3rd, 10th and 17th

Ride Times: 3:30pm to 5:00pm

Meeting Location: We start and end our rides behind MVMS

Who: 6th - 8th grade advanced and intermediate riders and hearty 5th graders with mountain biking experience

Our rides will be a little shorter this month and our weather will be cooling down but we’re planning for another fun month of riding! These rides are designed to engage middle school riders with mountain bike experience. We teach bicycle handling skills, trail etiquette and how to enjoy riding together as a group.

Before our rides, please go over your child’s bike with them and address any mechanical issues that may cause problems on the trail. Also, please help your student pack all of their cycling gear including their helmet, bike gloves, a spare tube, lots of food, plenty of water and lights. Also, I recommend a light wind beaker or rain jacket (when appropriate) that can be carried in a pocket. Light weight knee pads, elbow pads and protective eyewear are, also, recommended. For riders who are allergic to poison oak, a single use packet (or reusable small container) of Tecnu is another great thing to pack. Also, please make sure that your rider brings a mask and small bottle of hand sanitizer.

Also, all parents with mountain biking experience are welcome to join us for rides. Please contact Emile at emilemulholland@gmail.com if you would like to ride with our group.

Thanks!

*Rides on afternoons where the forecast predicts rain and a temperature below 55 degrees during the time of our ride will be cancelled and refunded or rescheduled. We use weatherunderground.com for our forecasts.
