*** REC Mountain Bike Program Fall 2017:

We are offering the REC program 3 nights per week (Tues, Wed and Thurs) with an optional free club ride on Monday nights. We are limited by our guiding permit to the number of participants, so we request that you only register your child for one night per week but please come out and participate in the optional free group ride on Monday evenings as well.   The optional free club ride on Monday evenings will have volunteer coaches, but parents are required to ride with their children (no drop offs allowed).

Group sizes will be approximately 6-8 kids per group.

All registrants must be at least 6 years of age by May 1, 2017

Sessions for children 6-10 yrs. will focus mostly on developing the essential mountain bike skills.  Kids will receive a great deal of instruction on how to ride mountain bikes during the program however, regardless of age, Pre-requesite - children should come into the program with basic riding skills and feeling comfortable riding up and down trails with rough and uneven terrain and be able to ride for at least 15 minutes without stopping.

Sessions for children 11 -17 yrs. will involve more advanced skills but will also involve much more continuous riding.  Riders in this group will also be exposed to different styles of riding and racing. Pre-requesite -Participants in this group should be able to ride over rough terrain and be able to ride for at least 30 minutes without stopping

Assessment Week. The first week of the program will be used to assess each child's skill, fitness and ability.  It is very important that all participants attend their first session to ensure that they get placed into the correct group.

Children will be placed into groups with other riders of similar abilities, regardless of age.

Example: it is possible for your 9 or 10-year-old child to be moved into the older age categories based on their skills and fitness.

Please note that due to the number of participants, that once registered you may not move your child to different nights. Also, we are not able to accommodate special requests that your child be in a specific group or with a particular child or coach.
