Notes:

The BYRDS Youth MTB sessions (both spring and fall) are recreational oriented for kids ages 5/6 +.  We organize into several groups of riders each night based on similarities in both age and ability.  Riders can move from group to group based on experience and comfort level.  As well as, if they have a friend in a different group they want to ride with.  Typically this is riding down a level and not up a level as we do not want to overwhelm a rider by having them ride in too fast of a group.  In addition, as an fyi, we have been working to organize a girls only group on ride nights.  It typically works out to have one group of girls (this group is more experienced than ‘new to sport”), and on a couple of occasions we have had 2 girls groups that offers 1 group that is a bit less experienced.

The primary goal for the rides is to build skills (confidence in descending) and experience, build fitness and endurance, promote rider etiquette and trail etiquette, and build good friendships for riding together.

Helmets are required, no open-toed shoes, dress for the conditions, and bring along fluids and a snack.  As well, a light is helpful as we get into October, and long-fingered gloves for cooler temperatures.

Ride updates are posted to our facebook page (BYRDS Cycling), as we may have to post last minute ride changes/cancellations due to weather.  Facebook is the quickest way for us to get a message out.

Please feel free to call, 208-890-3585, or stop into our shop at 520 N. 16^th for any additional information and questions.

Thank you,
