Youth Program
Pedal Pushers runs a youth development program in conjuction with Highlands Nordic and the Collingwood Cycling Club. All CCC youth program members are eligable for a discounted membership to CORC (Collingwood Off Road Association). Fee is $20.00 and includes a full season of Thursday night rides and apres (May-September).
2021 DATES TBD
The focus of the CCC Youth Program is safety, fun and mountain bike skill development. This program is designed for youth that have had some experience riding off road. They must be comfortable climbing, descending and shifting gears. Skills, drills and trail exploration are the foundation of the program. Each group will have a Coach or Group leader and Parent volunteer.
U13/U11: Develop bikes skills such as shifting, climbing, descending, obstacles, cornering and trail etiquette in a fun safe environment. U18/U16/U14: Geared towards intermediate/advanced riders looking to develop speed, endurance and technical skills.
PROGRAM FEE: Early bird rate $120.00 (includes free jersey) + OCA Club Affiliation Fee. Regular rate $140 after early bird deadline. CCC offers all youth a FREE membership ($65.00 value) as part of the program.
DATES: May 11th-June 29th. Program runs Monday evenings from 6-7:30PM. TRAIL CLEAN UP DAY: Sunday May 2nd (tentative). This is a great opportunity for all the kids to meet, bond and explore the trails.
Out of respect for sustainable trail usage, the program is subject to delay or cancellation due to heavy rains or wet trails. We rely on parent volunteers to help run our program. Please contact us if you are interested. Parent must be CCC or CORC (Collingwood Off Road Association) members or have an OCA citizen permit to ride on the Highlands Nordic trail system.
