- This program is geared for kids from 5 to about 12.
- Program is free but all riders must be members of the Shuswap Cycling Society (insurance purposes).
- Typically runs Tuesdays, 5:30-7:00pm from April to June, then continues September.
- All riders must have a mountain bike in good working order.
- Riders are broken into groups of 5-10 of roughly of the same age and ability, with 1-2 coaches.
- Weekly rides are casual, with some drills but generally focused on skill building through on-trail instruction and guidance.
- There is usually a fun event near the end of the spring, potentially a fall race series.
- Parents are encouraged to ride along!
- Coaches are volunteer based and receive training. We are always looking for new coaches, please get in touch if you are interested in helping out. The number of registrations we can make available is dependent on how many coaches we have!
