Another Successful “Take A Kid MTB’ing” Day

Posted on November 14, 2011 by sharemtb

Take A Kid Mountain Biking Day in Orange County

Over 80 kids rode in the event! With 140+ participants take on the 5th Annual IMBA event

Well if you weren’t there on October 1st you missed the biggest event of the 5 years that SHARE member Adam Davidson has been putting this local event of the national IMBA Take A Kid Mountain Biking Day. With over 140 participants of which 80 were kids there was no shortage of fun to be had. The event was broken up in 4 rides so there was something available for all age groups and riding abilities. Adam does a great job of finding sponsors to support the event and gathers enough donations so almost nobody goes home empty handed. There was another organization to benefit from all of Adam’s effort, Wheels4Life.org will be receiving a donation that will allow them to purchase at least 20 bikes for their cause. If you missed it this year you can mark down October 6th, 2012 for next years event.

Got Grom? 5th Annual IMBA Take a Kid Mountain Biking

Posted on September 30, 2011 by sharemtb

Reminder – IMBA Take a Kid Mountain Biking

This Saturday is the 5^th Annual OC Kids Bike, BBQ and Fun. Totally fun event!

When: Saturday Oct 1st 9:00 am to 1 pm
Where: Irvine Regional Park, 1 Irvine Park Road, Orange, CA
Registration and Info: http://web.me.com/highergroundsa/RideLikeAKid/Home.html
Fun for the whole family. Ride, BBQ, and Prizes.

This is an truly amazing event that according to IMBA, last year was celebrated globally in Australia, Canada, Italy, Germany, Japan, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States with an estimated 21,000+ participants joining the fun. This year will also mark the 5th year we are planning a local event in Orange County which continues to grow…last year we had over 100 peeps with 50+ kids!!! We start off with varied MTB rides based on age & skill followed by a BBQ and free kids raffle. While the primary goal to install a love of dirt with the groms, it should be no surprise the mad fun the parents have riding along and the kids providing more “smiles per mile” than any weekend epic ride could offer.
