Find Your Ride
Our year-round Youth Mountain Biking Club for ages 6–14 offers sessions after school and on weekends. Young riders enjoy small-group instruction and non-competitive, skills-oriented fun! Everyone grows together as they explore Hale’s trails and skills park.
Seasonal Sessions
Since this is a club (and not a traditional program), schedules aren’t fixed. Rides and activities change throughout the year. Know that you aren’t signing up for a specific number of sessions—you’re joining a community of riders that charts its own course!

We call Hale home for most rides and explore 22+ miles of trails throughout its 1,250 acres of adventure. Rides in other locations are scheduled with the support of local NEMBA chapters so we can check out new trail systems.
A committed team of adult volunteers lead and organize rides. The club’s head coach, Ryan Landers, works with Hale’s Mountain Bike Program Coordinator & Hale MTB Camp Director Chris Nichols to oversee the club. Please contact Ryan if you are interested in volunteering.
