Youth Bike Adventures - Next Ride September 16th
Youth Bike Adventures (YBA) has been taking local under served kids in our community on rides in the East Bay Regional Parks for 15 years. Our rides are once a month on Saturday from 10am to 3 pm May through October.
We ride either at Pt. Pinole Regional Park or Wildcat Canyon/Alvarado Regional Park. At least 12 volunteers ride with 10 kids and the ride includes a big lunch together, and a ton of fun sharing with the kids and the other riders.
September 16th is our next Youth Bike Adventures ride. Details for this ride are to be announced.
Please RSVP us at kaireen2@gmail or Jeff Edmonston. Dates for the rest of the season are: September 16 and our annual Halloween Ride October 28. For more info about YBA programs contact Jeff Edmonston or call him at 510-325-2417.
Show a kid the basic techniques of mountain biking. Share a lunch, give them a helmet to take home and leave them richer for the experience of learning safe biking and the beauty of our open spaces. This is one of the most rewarding BTCEB programs of all!
Well, unfortunately I got the email from Edmo that the YBA ride tomorrow (Aug 12) had to be cancelled:
YBA Ride is cancelled!
Unfortunately, the agency we were going to ride with this month called
late this afternoon to tell us that there were no available employees
or volunteers to attend the ride and drive the van full of kids to the
park.
So the ride is off.
We haven't had this happen in quite some time, and it is sad. The
groups of kids we ride with usually do not have a lot of resources in
their programs, and events like these are usually a result of that.
I am putting myself on the calendar for the next YBA ride...hopefully I can start a trend to boost the numbers.
