Fun fundamentals that build confidence
The Cubs session concentrates on core mountain‑bike skills—level pedals, the ready position and safe braking—delivered in 60‑minute blocks using games and short trail rides to keep learning playful and confidence‑building.
Myra‑Bellevue intent, flexible to spring conditions
The program aims to run at Myra‑Bellevue (Crawford) but locations are tentative in March; organizers will pick the driest viable dirt—potentially lower‑elevation parks or Jack Seaton—if spring weather leaves higher trails snowy or soft.
Short trail explorations, plenty of play
Each day is a single 60‑minute block of focused coaching and brief trail time designed to maximize skill practice while keeping the pace and exposure appropriate for 5–7 year olds.
