We will split the group into Green Geckos (beginners) and Leapin’ Lizards (intermediates) and split into smaller groups as staffing allows. We will ride to the level of the least experienced riders. \n\n\n\nWe will regroup at trail intersections and as needed for snacks or layer changes. \n\n\n\nRider Experience: Beginner/intermediate with 1-2+ years of riding on dirt trails. Ages 7-12. \n\n\n\nBeginner Green Geckos: These riders are already comfortable riding a bike on some “Green” mountain bike trails as well as dirt and grass\, and over some features up to 3-4 inches high. They can stand and coast on the pedals for short periods of time. They can shift gears and corner\, but it might not go as smoothly as it could — or at the right time. They are interested in rolling over taller features\, and riding pump tracks (or rolling terrain) without pedaling the whole time. They can ride 1-2 miles on a trail or bike path. \n\n\n\nIntermediate Leapin’ Lizards: These riders are already comfortable riding a bike on “Green” mountain bike trails as well as dirt and grass\, and down some features up to 3-4 inches high. They can stand and coast on the pedals for short periods of time. They can shift gears and corner\, but it might not go as smoothly as it could — or at the right time. They can ride 2-4 miles on a trail or bike path. \n\n\n\nDuring this ride: these riders will practice their balance over varying terrain including trails and rolling terrain\, as well as brake and corner with more confidence\, shift more smoothly. They’ll ride up hills and back down; there will also be some switchbacks and places to practice slow-riding skills and a few technical sections.  \n\n\n\nBike:* The bike should have platform pedals\, two hand brakes (front and rear)\, a seat that can move up and down\, and is in good working condition. Single speeds are OK but a bike with gears will be more fun on the climbs. No coaster brakes\, worn out tires or kickstands.  \n\n\n\nRequired Gear:  \n\n\n\n-A properly fitting helmet in good condition and is less than 5 years old* \n\n\n\n-Water bottle that fits in a bottle cage or backpack with a bladder  \n\n\n\n-Clothing appropriate for the weather \n\n\n\n-Tools for moving the seat up and down if necessary \n\n\n\n-Backpack to carry layers\, snacks\, tools and water \n\n\n\nRecommended Gear: \n\n\n\n-Full fingered gloves \n\n\n\n-Knee and elbow protection \n\n\n\n-Eye protection \n\n\n\n-Tools and supplies to change a flat tire (with assistance!) \n\n\n\n*We have helmets and bikes to loan; it’s helpful if you reach out in advance to indicate your rider’s need and size.  \n\n\n\nEmail elaine.b@elainebbikes.com with any questions and for bike/helmet loans. \n\n\n\nOnce registered\, please sign the waiver for your MINOR Child HERE

 \n\n\n\nThese riders are already comfortable riding a bike on “Green” and may be riding parts of moderately technical “Blue” trails\, and down features\, 4-8 inches high. They can stand and coast confidently on even pedals for longer sections of trail\, and they can shift gears and corner comfortably. They are interested in dropping features up to 12-14” high\, learning to jump\, manual and riding pump tracks or rolling terrain faster\, without pedaling. They can ride 2-4 miles or more on a trail or bike path. \n\n\n\nDuring this class: these riders will continue to improve their balance over varying and more technical terrain\, brake and corner even quicker\, with more exaggerated body movements\, and they can shift gears before it’s too late. They’ll learn to climb\, descend and ride both faster and more slowly with confidence. They’ll and have fun riding technical roll downs and drops 8-10” high – if they want to. The wheels may leave the ground in this class\, after all\, Leapin’ Lizards want to learn how to jump!  \n\n\n\nBike: A Leapin’ Lizard’s bike has platform pedals\, two hand brakes\, a seat that can move up and down\, and is in good working condition. Single speeds are OK but a bike with gears will be more fun on the climbs. No coaster brakes\, kickstands\, baskets\, or fenders. A Lizard’s helmet fits properly\, is in good condition\, and is less than 5 years old. \n\n\n\nRequired Gear:  \n\n\n\n-A properly fitting helmet in good condition and is less than 5 years old*  \n\n\n\n-Water bottle and snacks \n\n\n\n-Clothing appropriate for the weather \n\n\n\n-Pack to carry layers\, snacks\, and water \n\n\n\nRecommended Gear: \n\n\n\n– Full-fingered gloves \n\n\n\n-Knee and elbow protection \n\n\n\n-Eye protection \n\n\n\n*We have a limited amount of bikes & helmets to loan!

They can stand and coast on the pedals. They can shift gears and corner\, but it might not go as smoothly as it could — or at the right time. They are interested in rolling over taller features and riding pump tracks (or rolling terrain) without pedaling the whole time. They can ride 1-2 miles on a trail or bike path. \n\n\n\nDuring this class: Riders will continue to improve their balance over varying terrain including trails and pump tracks (or rolling terrain)\, as well as brake and corner with more confidence\, and shift more smoothly. They’ll learn to climb\, descend and ride faster; they’ll also learn slow-riding skills to have fun riding more technical trails including roll downs and drops 6-10” high – if they want to. The wheels may leave the ground on drops\, but we aren’t jumping quite yet. \n\n\n\nBike: The Green Gecko’s bike has platform pedals\, two hand brakes (front and rear)\, a seat that can move up and down\, and is in good working condition. Single speeds are OK but a bike with gears will be more fun on the climbs. No coaster brakes\, worn-out tires or kickstands.
