NEW YOUTH MOUNTAIN BIKE PROGRAM! Registration is open for the Fairbanks Cycle Club’s new Youth Mountain Bike Summer Program!
This program is open to youths from ages 9 to 14. Participants will learn and improve basic skills on the bike, gain comfort riding on uneven surfaces and practice riding over and around small obstacles, all while exploring local grass and dirt trails!
Specific skills include basic bike balance and maneuvering skills, how to properly operate gears, how to go up and down hills without getting off the bike, and how to roll over and around small obstacles, bumps and holes.

SCUM RIDES NOW STARTING IN AKASOFU PARKING LOT Just updated our Rides page so show that the SCUM rides (aka SOW: SCUM on Wheels) are starting at the Akasofu Building north parking lot (due to construction that makes the Patty Center parking lot difficult to access). And remember that the rides are starting now at 9 a.m. The Akasofu Building is also known as the Geophysical Institute building (aka: Geophys).
