2012 Youth/Family
Youth Town Rides
GVBC’s youth/family rides are aimed for families with children up toapproximately 10 years of age. The rides take place on the town bike paths(hard-packed dirt) as much as possible, with some sections on roads necessaryto connect the trails. We will organize the riders by age/ability into three groups and adjust scope and distance of rides to match riders’ abilities.Some rides are held in conjunction with other events, such as the Longest Day of Trails. The finale of the Youth riding series will be a Family Bike Ride on Sept 15. Read more below:
