CAMBA Kids Back for Second Year
This summer, the Chequamegon Area Mountain Bike Association will offer its second youth instructional course – CAMBA Kids. The course will again teach young cyclists how to ride off-road mountain bike trails and improve upon skills learned last year. Course content is geared for riders age 6-13 with basic bicycle riding experience.
The course will take place at Hatchery Creek Park, Hayward on Sunday afternoons, June 1, 15, 22 and 29 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The course will include:
- Bike safety, fit and maintenance
- Following IMBA’s “Rules of the Trail”
- Bike handling theory
- Drills to promote bike handling skills
- A short trail ride at every session
- Obstacle course at every session
Participants will need a mountain bike in good working condition and an approved helmet (required). Mechanics supplied by the New Moon Bike and Ski shop will again be on hand to offer bicycle tune-ups prior to setting out on the trails.
The cost is $15.00 for CAMBA family members, $35.00 for non-members. Family memberships are available for $40.00.
