Who can join?
- Kids ages 4–10 who can pedal on their own power (no training wheels or push bikes).
- Parents are welcome to ride along or hang out while we ride!
When & Where?
- Month of April: Metfield Skills Park in Bella Vista, AR.
What to Expect:
- We begin with a prayer for safety before hitting the trails.
- 1.5 hours of riding focused on skill-building and fun.
- 30-minute cool-down & lunch—bring a backpack lunch for a picnic-style wrap-up.
- Each week, we’ll focus on a different skill to help young riders grow their confidence and abilities, including:
- Coasting while standing up
- Safely braking with both hands
- Pedaling while standing
- Changing gears & working on cadence
- Cornering, balance, and more!

We will not reschedule but will continue with the next scheduled ride the following Friday. All registered participants will receive a full refund for any canceled ride due to inclement weather.
