2026 
RIDE Registration Update!
Feb 2nd!
We need a little more time…
 
Hello RIDE Community,
 
What a wild season it's been — or perhaps, not quite a season at all. It’s starting to feel a little like the Twilight Zone as many of us are still riding local trails well into December. As winter takes its time to arrive, we’re taking a little extra time, too — to prepare for our 2026 RIDE registration launch.
 
After 12 incredible years of running the backend on my own, I’m officially in the process of onboarding operational support — a long-time dream in motion. Expanding our team beyond our RIDE mentors and coaching crew marks a new chapter of growth. And as the bike has taught so many of us, growth often means finding our flow through the wobble — learning to balance effort and ease.
 
This is a moment to respect the process, inspire new possibilities, dare to grow beyond what’s familiar, and explore what RIDE can become with more hands and hearts supporting our mission.
 
So, through this transition, we’re taking a breath — and shifting our registration opening to February 2nd. This still gives families plenty of time to lock in their schedules. You can peek at the 2026 dates below and start penciling in the weeks that work best for your rider. 
 
We all know how quickly those June camps fill up — but rest assured, 2026 offers eleven weeks of opportunity to join us for another unforgettable season.

IS YOUR RIDER READY TO BECOME A RIDE MENTOR?
Ages 12+ | Applications Now Open for 2026
 
Becoming a RIDE Mentor is more than a summer job — it’s a rite of passage. For many tweens, it’s their first step into leadership, responsibility, and purpose.
 
Our mentorship program nurtures physical confidence, mental focus, emotional intelligence, and spiritual connection — the four pillars of holistic health that guide everything we do. Mentors gain time-management skills, build community, and experience the deep fulfillment of giving back through something they love: riding bikes.
 
If your child is ready to grow both on and off the bike, we’d love to welcome them into our next generation of RIDE leaders.
 
Don't know your summer schedule yet? No worries, hit the link to fill out the form and we'll follow up as the summer gets closer with more specifics on scheduling weeks!
