THE SKILLS

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.

THE SETTING

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.

THE ROUTE

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.

What the day feels like

What three afternoons feel like

Over the March 24–26 session, kids attend one 60‑minute class each day (12:30–1:30 PM) where coaches use games and short trail rides to teach the mechanics and mindset of riding—focusing on simple, repeatable techniques and a supportive atmosphere so young riders progress without pressure.
