Mountain Biking for Kids- Level 2
This program is designed for young riders who have completed the Kids Fundamentals Clinic and are looking to improve their mountain bike skills. Our fun, progressive approach to teaching is designed to develop riders' confidence and abilities to tackle common obstacles found on single track mountain bike trails. Most of the instruction will take place on the trails of Cowles Park in East Granby. Topics covered will include: balance and body position, wheel lifts, hops and bump jumps, negotiating steep transitions, small drops, riding rock gardens and switchbacks.
Requirements:
A safe and working mountain bike with hand brakes (not coaster brakes). We highly recommend having a local bike shop do a safety inspection if you are not sure.
All participants must have a properly fitting bike helmet - No helmets meant for other sports like skiing or hockey.
This program is in partnership with Simsbury Parks and Rec.
