Event Details
Take part in our supportive, adaptive cycling program designed for individuals with disabilities to enjoy an adapted off-road cycling clinic. Participants will build confidence and skill using specialized equipment. The clinic is structured to help you learn how to optimize your ability to enjoy riding handcycles or recumbent trikes.
Participants will go through the Bicycle Instructor Certification Program Adapted MTB course.
The skills learned in this course will help you improve your riding experience whether tackling greenways, gravel, or dirt trails. All skill levels are welcomed, as we are building the foundation for your skill development. As you progress in skill and through the NCAS Adapted Off-Road Cycling Levels, skill development will move into various locations around Dix Park.
