About This Activity
Adventure Riding Camp, a combination of the camps formerly known as the Mountain Bike Development and Urban Riding, offers a dynamic experience for older, more experienced Riders. ARC does daily rides spanning the city streets and trails throughout San Francisco, and beyond. The goal of ARC is not only to enhance on- and off-road technical abilities, but also to emphasize the safety and enjoyment of our riders. ARC riders will experience a broad range of riding surfaces, from city streets and multi-use paths to off-road trails and technical singletrack. Coaches will work with campers on a wide variety of skills, including safe street riding practices, pedestrian interaction, efficient climbing and descending, gearing selection and pedaling cadence, technical trail riding, obstacle avoidance, jumps/drops, bike maintenance and trail-side repair, and group riding techniques and etiquette. 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. This camp is open to Level 5+ riders ages 10 - 14.
