Do you like mountain biking and kids? Salt Lake City is surrounded by stunning landscapes and some of the best mountain biking trials anywhere. Sadly, many local youth never get the chance to experience this natural beauty or the healthy fun and challenge of mountain biking. With Trips for Kids Salt Lake City we hope to change that by getting kids who might otherwise not get the chance, on mountain bikes and out onto our local trails.
Plans are currently underway for after-school and weekend rides this spring through fall. We are looking for volunteer ride leaders to help share the joy of mountain biking and an appreciation of the outdoors with kids ages 10 to 16. Besides the ability to ride a mountain bike and relate to kids, no particular experience is required. If you can share a few hours to join us on an afternoon or weekend ride, we would love to hear from you. If you know of a local youth group or organization that might be interested in scheduling a ride, we'd love to know about that too.
Contact Krisha Pessa our Trips for Kids Coordinator to find out how you can be involved in this incredible program.
