CARNIVAL!!!

7:00 to 9:00

Rated 1-3

 

WHITE -- a regularly scheduled Mighty Bikes night.  Kincaid races have categories for all ages and abilities.

YELLOW -- RACE!  Races are optional; some kids like to race and others don't.  The stronger kids can do the adult course which is a longer loop(s) with technical challenges.  Little kids would enjoy the kids race, a short easy loop, often with participation prizes at the end.

GREEN -- weekend ride or special event. 

Rides are rated for difficulty: 

1--flat, bike path-type;

2--going to require some effort, but generally easy;

3--moderate difficulty, some technical riding, easy single track;

4--minimum 4 hr. ride, single track, climbing, tricky descents, cow parsnip, moderately difficult to difficult;

5--minimum 6 hr. ride, technical single track, extended climbs, tricky descents, cow parsnip, difficult to very difficult. 

(A note for single track on the Kenai Peninsula:  kids must have a trail-worthy mountain bike with 26" wheels, be a minimum of 9 years old and a strong rider) See gear list below.
