Please RSVP (with number of kids and adults) for the GCC/IMBA Take A Kid Mountain Biking Day, this Saturday October 3, 9am at the Mtn Bike Trailhead Pavilion off 441 North of Gainesville.
We will be having a picnic lunch for this event including hotdogs, vegetarian baked beans, and peanut butter and jelly along with drinks. Also, please feel free to bring along after-ride activities for the kids!
In addition, we need 3-5 volunteers to assist Chandler with the food preparation activities as well as to assist in leading rides for the different levels of riders. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated! We will lead rides on the cotton loop and cellon creek loops, ranging from less than one mile to 4 miles in total length or longer depending on the skill levels of participants.
I will need RSVPs by Wednesday at 5pm to make arrangements for ride leaders and food.
Helmets and bikes are required for this event for anyone wishing to ride the trails. Please contact me if you have any questions.
Thanks!

You can find an event in your area on our new Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day Worldwide Map. Clubs and individual groups from around the world have already registered events in Canada, Italy, Mexico, Myanmar, South Africa and all over the United States. Don't see a ride near you? If you'd like to organize a kid's ride, you can register your event by Sept. 15 and we will send your group a box of goodies containing race plates, stickers, and Clif Kid Organic ZBaRs to support your event. Groups of all sizes, ages and skill levels are welcome to participate. We’ve created an online toolkit to help you organize and get the word out about your event. And while we encourage groups to hold events on Oct. 3, if that date doesn't work for your community, feel free to change the date to fit your needs. All groups that register by Sept.15 will receive goody boxes regardless of the event date. IMBA's International Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day celebrates the life of Jack Doub, an avid teenage mountain biker from North Carolina who had a true passion for the sport from an early age but passed away in 2002. Funding is provided by the Jack Doub Memorial Endowment. The event takes place each year on the first Saturday in October. Assistance provided by Trips for Kids, helping disadvantaged kids discover mountain biking since 1988! Trips for Kids chapters nationwide make a difference in kids' lives by opening their world to mountain biking. By starting a Trips for Kids Chapter in your town, you can take disadvantaged kids on mountain biking all year round. Learn how to start a chapter. Thanks to our sponsors and partners for making IMBA's Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day possible:
