Kelso Mountain Bike Staff will host young riders, ages 6 to 16, for this international youth mountain biking event. The ride is part of a nationwide celebration known as Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day, supported by the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA).

Mountain Bike Guides will be leading group rides through the trails at various times throughout the day catering to all ages and abilities. We’ve got a supervised Skills Park, which will have a plethora of features and stunts to ride over and off of.

Instructors from Kelso and the Guelph Off Road Bicycle Association will also be on hand to offer tips and guidance in the Skills Park. As well, attending local bike stores will be offering bike safety checks, bike demos, and general bicycle advice.

Dress for the outdoors; bring your bike and an approved bicycle helmet.

Drop by this event anytime you like between 10:00am and 3:00pm. The Skills Park will be constantly supervised and the Guided Rides, lasting about an hour, will leave (by announcement) as soon as groups have formed. Plan to stay a while – and bring your bike – because your kids are going to have a blast and will not want to leave!

Free BBQ from11:30am to 2:30pm.

Meet at the Summit Entrance of Kelso Conservation Area, Steels Avenue West, near Milton, Ontario
