TAKMTBD

By Wednesday of last week, the U.S. Senate joined the House of Representatives in declaring Saturday October 1st, national Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day.

About 12 kids showed up with parents in tow to the Lake Crabtree event, one of three TORC sponsored events held locally. They had a blast, learning everything from how to climb to how to fall.

Once the little kids were finished, the big kids came back out to play.


More photos from the day’s events are here and here.

TAKMTBD is an IMBA sponsored event, created in memory of Jack Doub, a teen-aged North Carolina mountain biker who died in 2002.

    I don’t know… I don’t have an answer, but I think a worthy pursuit in life is to ask questions the answers to which cannot be Googled. It’s often useful just to articulate the problem, and that may be all we can do. — Phillip Barron "Doping scandals spoiling the spirit of sports"
