Spring Outdoor Adventures

Hey Kids
There are a lot of events that are right around the corner and I want to make sure you know about them.
Running Kids is hosting their Lil-Big Adventure at Pocahontas Sate Park on April 18th. This is a kid-adult adventure triathlon that Noelle has been putting on for many years and I have participated with my kids for at least 4 or 5 of these races. Drag your folks out and have some off road fun. Info and registration at www.runningkids.net

There are 3, yes 3, free kids' bike races coming up. I will be course designing and race directing and hope that many of you can make it out for some fun on the trails.
April 19- Kids' Bikin' Blast @ Poor Farm Park
May 9- Kid's race @ Camp Hilbert- new course on trails
June 28- kid's race @ Camp Hilbert- new course on trails
These races are free and should last about 20 minutes of race time. The distances for each age group will be designed so that everyone finishes within this time frame but they will not be too easy for those looking for a challenge. If you are over 12 or a very strong younger rider, I recommend trying the junior division of the "big" bike race.
More info for all these races can be found at http://www.runriderace.com/mountain-bike-events/
There will be some updating to the site soon that reflects the kid's race course change and the starting times will most likely be early in the morning around 9 or 9:30.

As the slideshow for this month says- "Get out and Ride!"
