MOUNTAIN BIKING PROJECT
ORANGE ACRES BACK BREAKERS
GENERALYEAR: 2006-2007
Leaders: Brig Mills Contact Info
Meeting:
| Goals: | Members in this project will learn about how to select a mountain bike. And how to care and maintain it. And what good is a mountain bike without actually using it - we'll learn riding safety and etiquette And, of course, to have fun! |
| What to expect: | You should have a mountain bike and helmet to be a member of this project. To go on the fun outings, you will either need your own bike, or borrow someone's. Meetings will be a combination of classroom style and outings. In the classroom we'll learn about the care and maintenance of our bikes. And the East Orange provides plenty of trail riding opportunities. |
| Time Required: | Meetings are one day each month, plus an outing each month |
| Effort Required: | You will show off your mountain bike
knowledge with a poster or display at Youth Expo and the Orange County
Fair YOUTH EXPO (a "learning fair" of 2-3 days) Create a poster or display on some aspect of mountain biking ORANGE COUNTY FAIR Choose the same poster or display or create a new one to display at the fair |
| Estimated Costs: | Like most things, mountain bikes range in price from very low to as much as you want to spend. You can get a good used bike at a garage sale very inexpensively - $25 - $50. Or you can buy new ones starting around $250 and going up into the thousands (for the very serious professional). You'll also need a good CPSC rated helmet - you can purchase one for as little as $25 or like everything else, you can spend more. Check with your leaders - they may be able to get you a discount at the local bike shop. |
