Biking

Welcome!

The mission of HYA Biking is to bring the joy of cycling to kids who have not had many opportunities to ride a bike, as well as to refine the skills of those that already have a solid foundation and want to push their skills to the next level.

HYA Biking is an all-volunteer organization. The program is run by a Board of Directors and coaching staff made up of parents like YOU. We are dedicated to the instruction of the sport of cycling and teamwork. HYA Biking is open to all students Grades 1-8. Feel free to reach out to us with any thoughts, comments, questions at biking@hyasports.org.

We are very excited to get this program "rolling"!

Fall 2022 BIKING IMPORTANT INFORMATION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

EVALUATIONS IN OCTOBER, RIDES IN NOVEMBER & DECEMBER!

Please REGISTER IMMEDIATELY! Registration deadline is Saturday, October 15th 2022!

Each group will have about 6 weeks of riding all depending on mother nature.

HIGHLIGHTS:

New for this year! Mandatory Evaluation Clinics. We will now be creating groups by skill, as compared to grade. This begins with attending at least 1 of the 2 evaluation clinics that we will host:

Sunday October 23rd

Tuesday October 25th

We may add a day/adjust the days and will confirm times a once registration is closed.

Kids will ride around a course at Marston School and be timed. We will then create groups based on times.

We will have 2 programs:

Knight Riders: Starts first week of November-THIS YEAR THERE ARE TRYOUTS FOR NIGHT RIDES-Night rides are back, bring on the lumens!!! Kids will need to meet a minimum time around the course to participate and also have a geared mountain bike (no BMX Bikes). All kids must have a 750 Lumen or greater light. Exeter Cycles and Gus's Bike shop are loaded up and ready for us! Grades 2-4 can try out for this and if they meet the time cut they will be allowed to participate. Historically, this was only for grades 5-8. Within this, we will have 2-3 different groups all based on the evaluation clinic times. Knight Riders will take place one night per week (most likely Wednesdays) around 5:30pm.

Weekend Warriors: Starts October 29th: Weekend rides are back! These rides will be for all levels and will be broken up by skill from the evaluation clinics. The primary target for these rides are for those who will not be doing the Knight Riders. That being said, Knight Riders are welcome to join and based on resources, we may have a whole bunch of rides happening on Saturdays! Weekend Warriors will take place on Saturdays, time tbd.
