Program Description

September and October is an amazing time in the Bay Area. Awesome weather and there is hardly and rain - so the trails are dry and the riding is fantastic. The Little Bellas Marin Weekly Program is a great solution to help kids get out on their bikes, finding adventure.

The Marin County Weekly Program is an all-girls mountain bike program, meeting on five select Sundays in China Camp Park throughout the fall. The program is for girls of all abilities to play games, learn mountain bike skills, and build confidence in a fun, safe environment. Gentle, rolling terrain, beautiful scenery, and more challenging trails to amazing vistas all combine to make the mostly singletrack of China Camp ideal for all levels of riders.

The girls and Mentors (we don't coach, we mentor) participate, each week, in a variety of activities, trail rides, and games. It is through these games and different activities, we focus on using different elements to teach and working on basic to more advanced mountain bike skills, all while the girls are having fun! This curriculum is designed to promote camaraderie among the girls, progressive skill learning, and to perpetuate the love of mountain biking, all while having a great time!

Financial assistance is available if needed and we also have equipment available through our Gear Up program! Please communicate any of these needs when filling out the registration form for the program.
