Introduce kids to the joys of mountain biking

Written by 

Grab the kids and the bikes and head to the trails of Deep Creek outside Bryson City to celebrate ‘Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day’ 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 6.

Bryson City Bicycles will lead a free group mountain bike ride in the Deep Creek section of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, geared for young riders ages 6 to 16. After the ride, there will be bicycling games, prizes and refreshments. Parents can either drop their kids off for the event or are welcome to stick around.

The nationwide “Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day” is supported by the International Mountain Bicycling Association.

Space is limited so reservations are required. Stop by Bryson City Bicycles in downtown Bryson City or call 828.488.1988.

    Count my daughter among the millions of kids whose first word was “doggy.” For a several-week stretch, “doggy” was also her only word. She used it liberally, be it a salutation for the grocery store clerk or pointing out a squirrel in the backyard.

    We don’t have a dog anymore, but there’s something about dogs. Kids just love them. Mine are no exception.
