Let your kids Rip!
Getting kids into riding mountain bikes is great, that’s why at Ride In Peace Adventures we want see the mini shredders on the trails. To help we have started up LITTLE RIPAs holiday camps and after school blocks to keep them entertained.
We also offer Private sessions, check for our calendar for availability. Private Children session are usually half day (3-4 hours) and are one to one or for groups of 4 to 8 participants.
We like to match the trails and facilities we teach on, to the age and ability of the riders, so we pick between a number of local trail centres depending on what we’re doing.
