About this event

Description

Grab your mountain bike and join the Bike Coalition of Maine for instructional weekly group rides. You'll learn and practice various riding techniques, including body and pedal position, shifting, braking, climbing, descending, and navigating minor obstacles on the trail. We'll also review important communication skills and trail etiquette to keep multi-use trails safe for every user plus an overview of on-road riding so you can safely ride to your local trail head or ice cream shop! This is a progression-based series with a specific focus each week. Our focus is foremost on body awareness so rides are safe and fun, then technical skills practice and building your child’s community of fellow riders. Participants should have their own mountain bike and helmet although a limited number of bikes and helmets will be available to borrow. Rides will take start from the school campus and parent pickup locations will be announced each week. A few parent volunteers will be needed to assist riders with this class. Please reach out if you can help!
