MTB Youth Rides
April 30 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
An event every week that begins at 5:30 pm on Tuesday, repeating until June 25, 2024
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!
