iRide Haida Gwaii p/b Kermode Kids

Hello! I’m Boby Wagner, and this year I am excited to offer the iRide cycling skills program this autumn in Masset, BC.  This will be my 2nd season with Cycling BC’s program, and I look forward to helping kids in the Masset area build confidence, friends, and an appreciation for the challenges of outdoor exercise.

Our 2021 autumn program, Kermode Kids p/b iRide, includes four sessions and is designed for ages 6-12, skill level 3.  Each session includes a few skills, a game, and a short bike ride. Participants will need to bring a mountain bike (or a kid’s bike with gears), a helmet, and of course, their STOKE!

As recipients of an iRide Development Grant, our instructors have registered with Cycling BC, undergone NCCP-training, and completed a background screening. All sessions are covered by Cycling BC’s insurance policy with Gallagher and permitted by the local First Nations community.

Program Dates:

• September 23 @ 4:30-5:30pm
• September 30 @ 4:30-5:30pm
• October 7         @ 4:30-5:30pm
• October 14       @ 4:30-5:30pm
