Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day

Saturday, October 1, 2011 marks the eighth annual celebration of Take A Kid Mountain Biking Day, an event which has put more than 43,000 kids and adults on bicycles worldwide. Organized by the International Mountain Bicycling Association, the event takes place on the first Saturday of every October. This is a great opportunity for you to pass your passion for pedaling on to kids!

Organizers, register your local event before 4pm EST on September 2, 2011 in order to be eligible to receive a care package. Once registered, additional information will be emailed to you in coming weeks. If you've missed the Sept 2nd deadline, please register your event with us so we can help to publicise it.

There are many ways to participate:

• Events range from a few kids in a neighborhood to larger festival style events in a community park, open space or trailhead.
• Develop a grass roots event in your community, support the national outreach, contribute to event "care packages", or join an existing event.
• Email Lora[at]imba.com for more information on how you, or your company, can get involved.
