Kids aged 8-16 who are interested in mountain biking now have the chance to try it out in a safe environment through the Sault Cycling Club’s Kids Shredding Singletrack.

Anyone interested in registering can do so here. Registration is first come, first served.
The Sault Cycling Club’s Kids Shredding Singletrack (KSS) registration is now open on our club website.
The program’s focus is to introduce kids aged 8 to 16 to fun and safe mountain biking. The environment is non-competitive and kids are not pressured to try any skill outside their comfort zone.
Sessions will run Monday evenings starting at 6:30pm from May 5, 2022 and ending June 16, 2025 (excluding Victoria Day). Rides will take place at Hiawatha Highlands, 780 Landslide Rd and we meet in the Kinsmen Park Ball Field area.
Rides will be approximately 90 minutes, depending on conditions (muddy trails make you ride slower, clouds of mosquitos make you ride faster!) and skill level of participants. Participants will be grouped according to skill level.
Each night will starts with a brief discussion and demonstration of a skill or technique, then the group will ride the Hiawatha single track trails stopping at features where they can practice and develop the featured skill. The focus will be on fun, but there will also be some learning going on!
