MTB Youth Rides
April 16 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Shuswap Cycling Society Youth Ride Series
Join passionate volunteer parent coaches on weekly rides on the trails of South Canoe. Kids will be divided into groups of approximately 6-10 of equal age and ability. Each week there will be a different theme but most of the instruction happens during the ride.
Rides run from 5:30pm to 7:00pm Tuesdays at South Canoe starting April 16th until June 25. We will have informal smaller group rides in the summer, and potentially reconvene for a few weeks in September.
NEW THIS YEAR: All participants must be members of the Shuswap Cycling Club.
Costs are $25 per individual or $40 for a family.
Check if you are already a member
Registration is capped at 60 riders. If registration is full and you are interested in joining a wait-list, email [email protected].
Please make sure your rider is ready to go each week with the following:
Bike in good working order!
- mountain bike that is the appropriate size and suitable for ups and downs
- brakes that will work on steep hills
- gears that shift smoothly and will be easy enough for steep climbs
- tires with knobby tread to grip on loose trails
- all the bolts are tight and wheels turn smoothly and are not warped
Gear that is appropriate for the day’s condition
- quality helmet with no dents or cracks
- a water water bottle or hydration backpack/hip pack is mandatory
- a small pocket snack like a bar or some trail mix
- gloves are recommended
- softer flexible knee pads are recommended
- clothing appropriate for the weather (we will ride rain or shine!)
- If the mosi’s bother you, bring some bug spray. But if we keep moving they can’t catch us!
