IMBA will celebrate the second annual Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day on Saturday, Oct. 1, 2005. This is a great opportunity for you to pass your passion for pedaling on to kids!

Participating is as easy as 1, 2 or 3.

1. Organize a ride in your local area. IMBA can help you plan an
event–either large or small; please register so that we can announce your ride on the IMBA website. View a list of scheduled events.

2. Spread the word. This event is a great opportunity for kids and groups to experience mountain biking for the first time or to get back on the saddle again.

3. Take a kid on a ride. Plan to go mountain biking on the first Saturday in October–and bring a kid along for the ride! Register your participation. Check out these helpful tips for taking kids riding and learn about other kid’s cycling programs.

Tim said something about this in a news post he wrote in July. Whether or not this will become a national event is anyone’s guess, but so far, so good! Since this initiative is backed by a congresswoman from North Carolina, a resolution regarding the “Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day” is expected to be passed later this year.
