October 4th, Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day
September 11, 2008
The 5th annual Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day is October 4th from 11am until 3pm, and we can’t wait! We’ve been making plans to try to top the fun we had at last year’s, and things are looking good. Kona has decided to join us this year. They are sending a rep out from Washington state out with some bikes, so we’ll have a demo happening along side the rest of the festivities. CycleSafe will be back this year with kids’ helmets and their passion for making cycling attainable and safe to everyone.
For those of you that aren’t familiar with the event, Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day is a day for all of us to pass along our love of riding to the next generation. The Children’s Home has agreed to host the event on their grounds again this year. We’ll head over there at 11am and start riding bikes. People are free to come and go, ride bikes and hang out. Our good friend Jay Doub will be serving lunch. So, if you have kids, bring them out to ride. If you don’t have kids, you certainly know at least one kid that would really benefit from the experience. Take the time to give her or him a memory that will last a lifetime. If you can’t find a kid, well, come out and join us anyway. We’ll be having a grand time.
Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day is sponsored by IMBA and celebrates the life of Jack Doub.

So for someone who is not a big biker and has never been to Take a Kid, you just bring your kid and their bike and they ride around The Children’s Home?
Yes, that’s right. We’ll have a course set up around the grounds of the Children’s Home. Either you and your kid, or just your kid, can join one of our volunteers to ride the course. The only requirement is that all riders wear helmets. If you or your kid don’t have one, no problem. We’ll have a few on hand to borrow.
