DIRT Series for Youth

Learn how to ride mountain bikes in the dirt, on the road, up hills, down hills, and maybe get into racing too! We cover it all.

The Dirt series is designed to educate participants in the necessary skills to make mountain biking safe and enjoyable. The series consists of weekly sessions that will introduce young riders to topics such as trail etiquette, safety, bike maintenance and riding skills. The DIRT series is organized and instructed by NCCP certified coaches who are also available to assist in creating training plans for those who plan on racing.

Start Date TBA, First Ride Start Date TBA

The program costs $85.00 for the first child and $70.00 for each additional child. This fee includes an NBR and SCA general membership. (SCA racing memberships cost an additional $25 per child)

Parents are also encouraged to join the NBR club and assist during the Monday night sessions. Biking is a fantastic activity that can be enjoyed as a family. No experience or perceived skill is required.

Registrations will not be accepted at the first session. Parents are required to attend the first session.

The program is split into three main groups:

Learn to Ride I is for 10-13 year olds who are interested in improving their riding skills, fitness, and off-road riding in a social setting. Weekly topics include trail etiquette and safety, riding skills, and bike maintenance.

Skill Development is for 12-16 year olds who are interested in improving their fitness, skills and becoming involved in mountain bike racing. Weekly topics include riding skills, fitness training, race skills and bike maintenance.

Parents Learn to Ride We will once again be offering a parents learn to ride. Cost is $70 if you have a child already registered in the program, but anyone interested may regsiter!

The DIRT Series is taught by NCCP certified instructors and starts May 2nd 2011, and runs for 8 weeks on Monday evenings from 7:00PM-8:30PM.  After the end of June there have been informal group rides on Mondays for the remainder of the summer in past years.

In the event of unsavoury weather, check the club website, www.saskcycling.ca/~nbr. A cancellation will be posted if necessary by 5pm in the announcements. Sometimes bad weather can pass in time, making earlier decisions difficult. Classes will end immediately upon thunderstorm weather.

Participants will need a CSA approved cycling helmet and a mountain bike in good running order.
