When I talk to other parents about their kids doing PPP, one of the most common concerns is the bike leg. The issue is that almost all kids can ride a bike and almost all of them think they can ride down from the mountain. Mom and Dad (well in our house it’s Mom) worries that the kid could suddenly get themselves in trouble because of speed, wind, road conditions, cars, truck, other riders, a flat, equipment failure, or lack of riding experience. It was these concerns from parents that led to us creating a clinic for kids riding PPP. The clinic is 3 sessions on May 3, 4, and 8.
May 3rd from 4:30 – 6:30 an indoor safety, bike check, and rules of the road session will be followed with a short ride.
May 4th from 4:30 – 6:30 a ride in and near town with a focus on bike safety, riding etiquette, and rules of the road.
May 8th will be a trip down Century drive. Bikes will be loaded on the MBSEF van and driven to Mt. Bachelor for a supervised ride down the course. Riders will meet at 10AM at the MBSEF office at the corner of Donovan and Century Drive.
The three clinic costs $40 and pre-registration is required. Call 541-388-0002 to register.
