Portage Health Junior Mountain Biking Program Begins
The Portage Health Junior Mountain Biking FREE Program will kick off Tuesday, June 19th. Meet at Portage Health at 6:30pm. The Junior Mountain Biking Program provides an organized venue for getting kids ages 10 & up (younger with appropriate skills or guardian present) out on the trails on a weekly basis. The program will run from June 19th until August 14th and meet at different trail systems each week. See the tentative schedule below.
The program is supported by Cross Country Sports with volunteers from the local mountain biking groups including Keweenaw Trekkers and the Red Jacket Cycling Team among others. Instructors and ride leaders are also needed; if you are interested, please contact Lori Hauswirth (lhaus@crosscountrysports.com) Parents are encouraged to ride along.
Kids should have a geared mountain bike, helmet, closed-toe shoes and water/energy with them for each ride. Waivers are also required to be signed by parent/guardian before the first ride.
Questions? Please email Lori Hauswirth (lhaus@crosscountrysports.com).
