Goal

The goal of the Orbital Youth Cycling is to cultivate the next generation of cyclists through mentorship and community.

Training Schedule

Group rides will typically be held on the weekend (April – August, weather permitting), meeting at Beavercreek Community Park and riding along the Creekside trail. Rides will be approximately 1-1.5 hours long and range between 15-25 miles depending on speed.

The long distance rides develop base endurance and group riding skills. Youth riders will learn proper bike riding skills, group handling techniques such as pulling and drafting, and how to encourage each other to keep pushing on. And of course, always having a fun time!
