"I'm impressed with the progress that is possible in a single ride or over the span of an entire summer. Last week, a girl started out terrified of going downhill and by the end, was able to confidently ride...which is the reason I keep partnering with TFK each year," Anonymous youth agency staffer.

Youth Agency Ride Info

Trips for Kids Denver/Boulder is a non-profit organization providing daylong mountain bike outings for underserved children, ages 10 and up. We incorporate bike skills, environmental awareness and FUN into all of our trips. We ride on “real” dirt mountain bike trails that are challenging, but appropriate for novice mountain bikers. On every ride, safety is of utmost importance. Our ride leaders are trained in first aid/CPR and are experienced mountain bikers.

For a nominal fee ($30 after school, $50 for a day-long ride), we provide bikes for as many as ten participants (including at least one adult from your group). In addition, we provide ride leaders, helmets, gloves, a snack and water bottles for everyone. Although most of the youth that we work with have never been mountain biking, they need to know how to ride a bike.
