It’s summer!!!!

Ok, it’s only March, but between the switch to Daylight Savings Time and wonderfully sunny days, we are already thinking about not coming home after work until we are totally tired and dusty or chain-ringed and mom calls us home for dinner.  And we are adults.

What about the kids?  You gotta figure they are thinking the same thing, but it’s a little tougher them to get out so easily.  Not to  worry,  we’ve got plans for our junior brethren to help them create their own 2-wheeled adventures,  so that  they, too, can spend the rest of their lives dreaming on 2 wheels.

Yes,  SF Urban Riders are doing summer camp.  Similar to last year, but more, bigger, and better.  Like last year, we are working with the Presidio YMCA folks, who have the expertise and the good camp cred already in place.   But bigger and better because the SF Urban Riders are adding more dirt to the Y’s camp offerings, by helping them with 5 camps that will be focused on mountain bike riding.   That’s right, five (5!) weeks of opportunities for a kid you know to go play in the dirt, NO PARENTS, to  learn some new skills, to become a better rider.   if you think we are excited about summer, we are PSYCHED!!!! about creating the next generation of cross-country riders, teaching them both how to ride well and how to enjoy, respect and preserve the lands they travel through.

You got to be an official kid to go to these camps.   See the YMCA flyer for age groups, dates, etc. (Click for a hi-rez pdf).  We have a little more pedal-to pedal info on our Youth page.  Click over to it for more info on the how each day of the camp week turns as well as some big smiles from last year’s happy campers.

For the over-15 set, click over to the calendar our monthly ride schedule, or send us an email at info@sfurbanriders. org, we’ll hook you up with some places to go, and we won’t tell your mom where you are.
