About This Activity
Adventure Riding Camp caters to older, more experienced riders. A prerequisite for participation is a high comfort level on bikes and the necessary skills and mental focus required for big days on the bike. ARC participants can expect long/moderate or short/steep climbs, the potential for 15+ miles daily, and occasional requirements to carry bikes up/down stairs or other obstacles. Block 3 (Sessions 7 and 8) – July 21 – August 1: Urban Riding Focus: This camp is for those that love to cruise on pavement! We’ll focus on important urban riding skills like taking a lane, scanning/signaling and lane position in busier urban environments. We’ll explore bike infrastructure around the city and talk about what makes it good and what could make it better. Destinations may include: the “green wave” on North Beach Street, the Wiggle and Page Slow street. This camp is a great fit for campers who are confident in their riding skills and ready take on busier city streets. There will also be plenty of opportunities for classic Wheel Kids shenanigans, like checking out trails and local parks! This camp also includes a field trip down to the Hellyer Velodrome in San Jose as well an opportunity to take the Ferry back to the city from Marin!
