Our community mountain biking tryout event was such a success last week with the help of an amazing group of community partners and volunteers!

We had a fantastic turnout (100+ people), welcoming youth and adults to experience Redhead in a friendly, encouraging, and supportive environment. Some of the adults had never ridden a mountain bike before—and watching them build confidence and discover something new was especially meaningful! 🚵‍♀️✨

This is what it’s all about: helping people of all ages get outside, move their bodies, explore the incredible resources at Redhead, and discover the what mountain biking is all about.

Thank you to every organization, volunteer, family, and participant who made this special evening possible! 👏

𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗘: Building Skills, Confidence & Courage

Our Chisholm Summer Rec adventures continued last week with an afternoon of mountain biking at Redhead!

30West owner Jen Gigliotti partnered with Ridetherange Ambassador Matthias Norenberg—also known as Guy Thompson— to introduce the kids to bike and helmet safety, the pump track, skills course, and Redhead’s introductory green trails.

The kids practiced new skills, challenged their bodies, and showed tremendous courage while trying something new. It was wonderful to watch their confidence grow with every lap, obstacle, and stretch of trail! 💪🚵

𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗟𝗢𝗥𝗘. 𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗘. 𝗕𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚. Redhead is for everyone.
