2026 Summer Bike Club
We are bringing back our beloved Summer Bike Club mountain bike program for summer 2026. The program will run on Wednesdays from 4:00pm to 5:30pm this summer. The program, aimed at developing mountain bike skills in children entering grades 4 through 9, will have approximately 45 slots this year. It will again be spearheaded by Ollie Burruss, with assistance from the junior coaching staff, the Green Racing Project athletes, and skilled riders from the area. Participants must be able to competently ride a bicycle and have interest in riding singletrack trails.

Personal bikes must pass a check by a mechanic prior to the first session. A form is available here for the mechanic to sign off. This is for your child's safety and enjoyment. PowerPlay Sports in Morrisville has offered to do safety checks free of charge and a tune-up at Chuck's Bikes just around the corner in Morrisville is only $30!
All participants need to have the following: running/athletic shoes, active outdoor clothing, a water bottle, a bike helmet, and a safe and functional mountain bike. Parents also need to sign a liability release waiver and bring it to the first session.
