Kids explore HVNC on mountain bikes
Come join the Hidden Valley Nature Center Mountain Biking Club for kids ages 9-12 at HVNC in Jefferson. The club will meet for six Sundays from 2 to 4 p.m., October 6 through November 10. Kids will have the opportunity to explore more than 20 miles of trails at HVNC, see the turning of autumn in the woods, develop riding skills, safety awareness and perform some trail maintenance.
No mountain biking experience is necessary, though a mountain bike and helmet are. Please let us know if you’d like to come but would like help finding a bike to borrow. The fee for the session is $55 per child. Scholarships are available. Participants must register in advance; to register or for questions please contact Kristin Stone at kmohrstone@yahoo.com.
HVNC is open year round and every day to the public for many kinds of non-motorized recreation including mountain biking. Visitors are encouraged to explore more than 20 miles of trail, and a mile of shoreline on Little Dyer Pond via cross country skis, snowshoes, by hiking or running, or by biking. You can explore the secluded Great Pond by renting one of our canoes for just $10 per day ($5 for members).
Don’t miss our annual Race Thru the Woods trail race coming up October 27. This year runners can choose between a half marathon, and a 5.5 mile race. You can find more information, a course map, and register by visiting hvnctrailrace.blogspot.com. The trail race is proudly sponsored by Liberty Graphics, Ames Supply, Wiscasset Ford and Key Bank.
