Hidden Valley Nature Center

Biking and Bites: a free family bike-riding open house Dec. 15

Thu, 12/13/2018 - 7:30am

All are invited to join Midcoast Conservancy’s AmeriCorps Outdoor Adventure Members Emma, Jess, and Miranda on Saturday, Dec. 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for some outdoor fun at Hidden Valley Nature Center in Jefferson.

Attendees can give fat tire biking a try on one of Midcoast Conservancy’s fat tire bikes and learn a few helpful bike basics. Volunteers will be on hand to help attendees find the right size bike and to recommend a trail based on the rider’s ability. The event is open to all ages and skill levels. Midcoast Conservancy’s bikes are a great fit for anyone taller than 4’ 8”. However, others are encouraged to bring their own mountain bikes.

After riding, participants can enjoy some cider and s’mores and let the AmeriCorps team know what they’d like to see for future Outdoor Adventure Programming with Midcoast Conservancy. No registration necessary, but a signed wavier is needed for kids unaccompanied by an adult. Bikers can stop by anytime between 10 and 2. Check Midcoast Conservancy’s Facebook page for event updates due to weather.

Contact Midcoast Conservancy for more information, or with any questions: (207) 389-5150 or americorps@midcoastconservancy.org.
