Kids Rides! MA DCR's "No Child Left Inside" with NEMBA Explorers:

Sponsored by the MA Dept. of Conservation and Recreation, GBNEMBA and NEMBA Explorers present the 2011 "No Child Left Inside" ride series. This year we are expanding the Kids Rides to include a ride at Beaver Brook North and Great Brook Farm!

In 2007, the MA DCR created a program to provide outside, supervised activity for children: "No Child Left Inside" to give children an opportunity to get some exercise and an introduction to one of the most unique outdoor spaces found anywhere. This year there will be 5 rides - all on Saturdays.

Here's the 2011 Kids Rides Schedule:

4/30/2011 Kids Ride at Fells Kickoff (Medford)

411: This ride is meant to introduce children to the fun, excitement and fitness benefits that come from riding bikes in the woods and to teach respect for the parks, trails, and other trail users. The ride will be well staffed and every safety precaution will be observed (we typically also have one of the MTB Patrol along if first aid is needed). Parents are welcome on the ride, but not required. Riders must have a serviceable bike, properly fitting helmet, and water for the ride. Snacks will be provided!

If you cannot supply a bike or helmet for your child, please let Adam Glick know as soon as possible and we'll see if we can arrange something. Please use the links above to register or if you have questions contact Adam Glick or at 781-354-7845.
