There will be snacks, drinks a free raffle after the ride. There will also be a skills course where kids can work on their balance and bike handling skills. So come out and make a day of it! There will be at least two separate rides. For beginners and younger kids, we will ride along a tree covered dirt road, hang out at the "quarry" and then ride back to the picnic area (1.3 miles). For intermediate and older kids, we will ride the lower loop trail (2 miles). There are other loops and trails which can be done which will challenge kids of all abilities. All of these rides will give the kids an experience which will immerse them in the forest. All groups will meet back at the Lone Tree picnic area for snacks and the raffle. Toddlers and kids with bike seats, trailers and trail-a-bikes are welcome! |
