2025 Summer Bike Club
We are bringing back our beloved Summer Bike Club mountain bike program for summer 2025. The program will run on Wednesdays from 4:00pm to 5:30pm this summer. The program, aimed at developing mountain bike skills in children entering grades 4 through 9, will have approximately 50 slots this year. It will again be spearheaded by Ollie Burruss, with assistance from the junior coaching staff, the Green Racing Project athletes, and skilled riders from the area. Participants must be able to competently ride a bicycle and have interest in riding singletrack trails.
Registration
Registration will open at 7:00pm on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. Registration happens on the Outdoor Center’s MARGE membership platform. Participants must be members of the Outdoor Center to gain access to registration, so get your membership squared away now. At 7pm on the 14th, the program will go live on the Program Registration page on MARGE under the “Bike” category.

Personal bikes must pass a check by a mechanic prior to the first session. A form is available here for the mechanic to sign off. This is for your child's safety and enjoyment. PowerPlay Sports in Morrisville has offered to do safety checks free of charge and a tune-up at Chuck's Bikes just around the corner in Morrisville is only $30!
All participants need to have the following: running/athletic shoes, active outdoor clothing, a water bottle, a bike helmet, and a safe and functional mountain bike. Parents also need to sign a liability release waiver and bring it to the first session.
