iRide Nanaimo p/b Thrills & Skills

Hello! I’m Stephen Pilcher and over the past 3 seasons, my team of iRide Instructors and I have enjoyed helping kids in the Nanaimo area build confidence, friends and an appreciation for the challenges of outdoor exercise.

Our program, Thrills & Skills p/b iRide, is a 6-week program for ages 8-12, skill level 4-5.  Each session includes a few skills, a game and a trail ride at Diver Lake Park. 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 Jones Brown.
