The Mountain Bike Club is back!

This club is open to any of our students – grades 6, 7 or 8.   Our objective is to provide a safe mountain biking experience for riders who have a variety of riding abilities. Parent riders are always welcome along! (In fact we require a couple each ride for safety purposes).  We ride on one afternoon each week from 4:30 until 6:00 at Hartland (Mt. Work Park), once a week during April & May.  We'll be choosing a day to ride that meets as many riders' availability as possible.  

Mountain biking describes a variety of cycling experiences, including smooth trails of moderate grade, rough, loose trails, steep technical areas, ‘roll downs’ (very steep embankments that the bike rolls down), drops, jumps, and so forth.  Our first priority is always safety.  Routes are chosen by the adult leaders (often with youth input) to correspond to our youths’ experience levels.  Our focus is on having fun while participating in a sport.

Permission forms are available at the school office from Mr. Caley.  It would be nice to have permission forms back before Spring Break as the first ride is the week we return.
